Madrigal for Christmas (HL 153763)
Add a Renaissance touch to your holiday concerts! Madrigal for Christmas is fashioned after the ballettos of Italy which featured the popular “fa la la” refrains. In this piece, Morley uses a different nonsense refrain, “lirum, lirum,” which might be a sound effect imitating the strummed lute, a popular instrument from the Renaissance.
