Product Description
Instrumental arrangement of the 8 part madrigal by Pearsall, based on the play "The Maid's Tragedy".
Pearsall also used the same music (as a contrafactum) for the liturgical hymn Tu es Petrus.
The pdf file contains score and parts.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
The original words of the madrigal are:
Lay a garland on her hearse
of dismal yew.
Maidens, willow branches wear,
say she died true.
Her love was false, but she was firm
Upon her buried body lie
lightly, thou gentle earth.
