Works
Adieu, sweet AmaryllisAll pleasure is of this condition
Cruel, behold my heavy ending
Down in a valley
Draw on, sweet night
Flora gave me fairest flowers
Happy, O happy he
I live, and yet methinks
I love, alas! yet am not loved
Lady, when I behold
Lady, your words do spite me
Love not me for comely grace
Of joys and pleasing pains
Oft have I vowed
O what shall I do?
O wretched man
Sweet honey-sucking bees
There where I saw
Thou art but young
Thus saith my Cloris bright
Weep, O mine eyes
Weep, weep, mine eyes
When shall my wretched life
Where most my thoughts
Ye restless thoughts

Robert HollingworthAbout
Whilst his oeuvre may have been small (just 75 works that we know of and most just a couple of minutes long), time and again, in these exquisite cameos, Wilbye delivers what might be reckoned the ultimate madrigal experience.
The plangent dissonance of ‘Draw on, sweet night’ and ‘Weep, weep, mine eyes’ perfectly evoke English melancholy, while ‘Sweet honey-sucking bees’ and ‘Adieu, sweet Amaryllis’ are such sheer pleasure to sing that many listeners will scrabble to unearth old scores. This album is, in a nutshell, 75 minutes of madrigalian bliss!
Rediscover or enjoy anew this central part of English choral culture, strangely out of fashion for so long, sung by a group that has matured into the repertoire like a good wine.
