Description
Arrangement of the madrigal by Ludwig Senfl - also in honour of my grandmother Elsie Nicholls ...
As the arrangement progresses each instrument has a turn at the melody line in each verse.
The original words start as follows:
Ach Elslein, liebes Elselein mein,
Wie gern wär ich bei dir!
So sein zwei tiefe Wasser
Wohl zwischen dir und mir,
So sein zwei tiefe Wasser
Wohl zwischen dir und mir ....
[English translation]
Oh little Elsie, my little Elsie dear,
How I wish I were with you
But two deep waters
Are between you and me ...
