A high
quality setting of the
Thomas Morley hymn, Sing
We and Chant It, by
popular writer Deborah
Baker Monday. Deborah
understands the idiomatic
nature of the string
orchestra and always
provides teachers with
music that can be used to
teach as well as inspire
musicality.
Thomas
Morley (ca. 1557-1602)
lived in England during
the Elizabethan period.
It was a time during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth
when the arts, and
especially music,
flourished.Morley studied
serious music with
William Byrd and
attempted to compose in
his style while holding
an organ post at St.
Paul's Cathedral. He was
inspired by a new vocal
publication brought to
England from Italy. These
madrigals were where
Morley finally found his
compositional direction.
He took aspects of the
Italian style, which
suited his personality
and anglicized them by
applying the English
language and musical
tradition. His works are
considered to show a
wider variety of
emotional color, form and
technique than other
English composers of this
period.
