Hal Leonard Madrigal for Christmas SSATB A Cappella arranged by John Leavitt

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.
