	English Madrigal School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English madrigals were a cappella, predominantly light in style, and generally began as either copies or direct translations of Italian models.
		The development that caused the explosion of madrigal composition in England, however, was the development of native poetry — especially the sonnet — which was conducive to setting to music in the Italian style.
		Madrigals continued to be composed in England through the 1620s, but the air and "recitative music" rendered the style obsolete; somewhat belatedly, characteristics of the Baroque style finally appeared in England.

	Madrigal (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The madrigal has its origins in the frottola, and was also influenced by the motet and the French chanson of the Renaissance.
		It is related mostly by name alone to the Italian trecento madrigal of the late 13th and 14th centuries; those madrigals were settings for 2 or 3 voices without accompaniment, or with instruments possibly doubling the vocal lines.
		The madrigal had a much longer life in England than in the rest of Europe: composers continued to produce works of astonishing quality even after the form had gone out of fashion on the Continent (see English Madrigal School).

	The English Madrigalists
		Dart’s imaginative view of ‘four seasons’, in which the English madrigal flowered and decayed, is intended as an introduction for students, singers and teachers who are unfamiliar with this corpus of enchanting music.
		Organist of St. George’s, Windsor, and successor to the famous Marbecke, Mundy was amongst the earliest of the English madrigalists.
		Many madrigal composers are only shadows in history; they were cathedral organists, members of the Chapel Royal, lutenists, house musicians and gentlemen’s tutors; they lived mostly in the City of London or near those cities which received Queen Elizabeth on one of her progresses.

	Madrigals - Songbooks, sheet music, recordings, CDs and history
		The word madrigal is thought to have been derived from mandriali (a short pastoral poem) or from matricale (a rustic song or poem in the mother tongue), or perhaps madriale (a hymn to the Virgin Mary).
		Madrigals of the early stage were composed in a homophonic musical style (a predominant melody with a subordinate accompaniment) and were generally intended for four voices.
		The madrigal composed in England during the late sixteenth century and early seventeenth centuries include some of the finest music of the period and are possibly superior in truth and expressiveness even to the madrigals composed in Italy, where the form was invented and flourished over a long period.

		A madrigal is a setting for 4–6 voices of a secular text, often in Italian.
		It is related mostly by name alone to the Italian trecento-madrigal of the late 13th and 14th centuries; those madrigals were settings for 2 or 3 voices without accompaniment, or with instruments possibly doubling the vocal lines.
		Late madrigalists were particularly ingenious with so-called "madrigalisms" — passages in which the music assigned to a particular word expresses its meaning, for example, setting riso (smile) to a passage of quick, running notes which imitate laughter, or sospiro (sigh) to a note which falls to the note below.

	HOASM: The English Madrigal
		To vary the image, it covered a spectrum from the English part-songs of Byrd, who refused to write in the Italian style (though he could), to the madrigals of Morley at the other extreme which were wholly Italianate.
		The English school reached its peak with Thomas Weelkes, the most original madrigalist, and John Wilbye, the most polished; both were deeply indebted to Morley, both surpassed him.
		Thomas Tomkins did not publish his madrigals until 1622, when they were on the way out and the lute-song had already taken first place in favour; in consequence they have always been neglected, though among the finest in their kind.

		His madrigals are filled with obvious musical allusions to the words such as running streams, chattering nymphs, etc., but they also contain musical subtleties, images and moods set by the music to bring greater expression to the words.
		Composed in the English style, it is both melodic, polyphonic, and often quite complex despite the admonition accredited variously to Archbishop Cranmer and Edward VI to sing one note per syllable.
		English musicians were familiar with Italian styles both through manuscripts that filtered into the country and through the works of the highly praised Ferrabosco, a transplanted Italian much feted in England but considered rather second rate in Italy.

		He was one of the most renowned composers of madrigals, and wrote perhaps the finest examples of the form in its late stage of development, prior to its early Baroque transformation by Monteverdi.
		Madrigals In his madrigals, many of which he wrote during his stay in Rome, his style is clear and concise, and he wrote tunes which were easily memorable; he also "signed" his work by frequently using the word 'lasso' (and often setting with the sol-fege syllables la-sol, i.e.

	history
		Madrigals were first written and performed during a time in history when all entertainment was live entertainment.
		In 1588 a collection of Italian Madrigals was translated into English and circulated, much to the joy of English enthusiasts…for although some Italian Madrigal manuscripts had been in circulation since the 1530's, "Musica transalpina" was the first collection of Italian madrigals to be published in England.
		English Madrigals in particular were characterized by a light, clear texture (often with sudden contrasts), short, rhyming lines, variable design, and a textual orientation toward love songs.

		The madrigal "burst into fashion at the English Court and with cultivated musical circles -- for, as a sophisticated art, its vogue was essentially aristocratic" (Whent par.
		English madrigals were heavily influenced by Italian madrigals in the same way, some decades earlier, that sonnets developed from the Italian ("Englished" by Wyatt and Surrey, the latter an uncle of Oxford) to the "Shakespearean." The key madrigal publications in England were Musica Transalpina (1588) and Italian Madrigalls Englished (1590).
		Most works in the Englished collection were composed by Luca Marenzio (1553-1599), who seems to have stayed with his teacher, Giovanni Contino, with the Gonzaga family in Mantua from 1568 to 1574.

	Luca Marenzio Biography / Biography of Luca Marenzio Biography
		His works spread throughout the Low Countries and Germany, and he was the main foreign influence in the development of the English madrigal school.
		During his 7 years with the cardinal, Marenzio published his first four books of madrigals for five voices, the first three volumes of madrigals for six voices, the madrigali spirituali, and the first three books of villanelle, in addition to a number of pieces for anthologies and the first of his five volumes of motets.
		Seventeen volumes of madrigals containing over 200 pieces were published during Marenzio's lifetime; of these more than half were reprinted at least once before his death and continued to be reprinted for a decade after.

		The text “fa la” in both the Italian balletto and the English madrigals modeled on the continental genre is generally used as a simple refrain, devoid of poetic meaning.

		These madrigals, while not directly addressing Philomel's sorry plight, are more serious than the other pieces in the collection; indeed, the narrator seems to realize the incongruity of Philomel’s presence in a cheerful collection of balletti.

	HOASM: Thomas Weelkes
		The English madrigal school reached its peak with Weelkes, the most original madrigalist, and John Wilbye, the most polished; both were deeply indebted to Thomas Morley, both surpassed him.
		It was customary for English composers to conclude their madrigal prints with an elegy on the death of a famous person, and Weelkes' publications are no exception.
		Be that as it may, Weelkes is certainly the most paradoxical figure among the English madrigalists and one of the most interesting and talented English composers of his time.

		The English Madrigal School took full bloom during the golden age of Elizabeth; by the middle of the seventeenth century, the era of composition of the madrigal was essentially over.
		While they specialise in English and Latin liturgical pieces, they have a wide range of recordings that span from modern compositions (including a remarkable requiem by Rutter) to English folk songs of the Middle Ages.
		The splendor of these arrangements and the setting confer on all of these traditional madrigals (and some newer arrangements: Side B is dominated by twentieth century arrangements) a certain solemnity and a certain stately pace (so the lyrics are not lost in the echo of the cathedral).
