The Oxford Book of English Madrigals: Vocal score Sheet music – 9 Nov. 1978

What can I say to sum up the 35 years of musical joy I have experienced singing madrigals from this wonderful book?It’s pure singing heaven. I recently purchased a new copy for my son to carry on the tradition. The classic and the best!

This second hand book of madrigals was in good condition and was a very low price. This was a great buy.

How did this meet my expectations Amazon asks - its a book; its got madrigals in it; they're English, so yes, it met them. This sort of thing isn't really an impulse buy - if you need it, then its perfect; if you don't then you're not likely to find it veyr interesting.

Used on a course

Indispensible. If you're a choral singer there is really no other anthology which provides so comprehensive and scholarly a guide to this aspect of the repertoire. I've tried Penguin Book of Madrigals, or individual copies from the Fellowes era, but this is the best!

Great collection BUT cheaper (I found out later) at my excellent Independent bookshop in Wivenhoe!

If English madrigals are what you are after, buy this. Lots of songs, clear and straightforward arrangements typically for 4-6 voices, ideal for small group singing.

Unfortunately the front cover was damaged. As s/h I expected some minor scuffs but this was more than I expected.
