"Now Is the Month of Maying"


Above, the Taipei Chamber Singers perform the madrigal by Thomas Morley:
    Now is the month of Maying, when merry lads are playing! Fa la la la la!
    Each with his bonny lass, upon the greeny grass, fa la la la la!

    The Spring, clad all in gladness, doth laugh at Winter's sadness! Fa la la la la!
    And to the bagpipes’ sound, the nymphs tread out the ground! Fa la la la la!

    Fie! Then why sit we musing, youth’s sweet delight refusing? Fa la la la la!
    Say, dainty nymphs and speak! Shall we play barley break? Fa la la la la!
