Description
Instrumental arrangement of the two part 6-voice madrigal by Thomas Weelkes.
The words describe some of the wonders of the world but conclude that nothing is more wonderful than human feelings.
In the second half (The Andalusian Merchant) the music ventures into unusual cadences that are reminiscent of the works of Gesualdo.
