To Shorten Winter's Sadness (3-part mixed, unaccomp.)

Originally written for five voices with the melody line traded between parts one and two, Jill Gallina has carefully crafted a 3-part mixed setting of this Thomas Weelkes madrigal.  Interwoven harmonies and bright fa la la's fill this bright choral.  It is a wonderful choice for younger singers who are just being introduced to the genre.  A nice selection for winter concerts.
