A madrigal for the summer months by John Wilbye for SSATB chorus. Edited by Lionel Benson.

This a cappella madrigal from the high Renaissance is now available as a stand alone choral. It features opportunities for dynamic contrasts and development of the musical line. John Leavitt has edited the piece with optional cuenotes to make the tenor range more accessible to a larger group of singers. This madrigal is stunningly beautiful.
