"The English madrigal grew out of the 16th-century Italian style and became the forerunner of popular small group singing such as the glees, part-songs and barbershop that we know today, all of which are based on the joy of performance. They are sung here by Pro Cantione Antique, one of Britain's foremost vocal ensembles."
