My Heart I Give to You This Day

Arcadelt's Renaissance chanson for SSA voices is chordal in style and very accessible for treble ensembles of varying abilities. The text is in English, with the original French as subtext, and a French pronunciation guide is included. Excellent performance notes give historical background on the composer and the chanson style. Piano and hand drum accompaniment is provided, although the work may be sung a cappella, as it would have been in Arcadelt's time.
