Here are the three madrigal songs recorded at the festival on April 1, 2011. It's a raw recording, unedited. The first is Fire, Fire, My Heart by Thomas Morley 1557-1602), arranged and edited by Linda Spevacek:
The second selection is Your Lovely Face by Adriano Banchieri (1568-1634), arranged by Patrick Liebergen:
And the final selection that day was All at Once, Well Met Fair Ladies by Thomas Weelkes (1576-1623), also arranged by Patrick Liebergen:
The scoring was fair from the three clinicians but not always consistent; yes it came out about where it should - an 85/100 average from three judges and earned a Silver rating. 90 points would have earned a Gold plaque. We did very well and were happy with this rating of unknown music and genres. Also this group has an eclectic repertoire, from classical to Broadway. They sang against school madrigal groups who meet everyday and specialize in that music. We started rehearsing this music at the end of January after our Night of Broadway show wrapped up. Oh about the "crowd". Our group was the first up on the first day, so no one was in the audience, except for the judges, one of whom obviously was a fan! Please enjoy!
