| Summary |
"The Ayres, or Fa La's for Three Voyces (1627) by John Hilton "the Younger" (1599-1657) brought the so-called English madrigal school of composition to a close. The Ayres belong to the Italian balletto form, although the form had lost its earlier association with dancing by the time of its importation into England. Although this collection has not hitherto been published in a critical edition, the quality of the compositions has long been recognized. The eighteenth-century music historian Sir John Hawkins lavished high praise on them, considering them to surpass in quality similar works by Thomas Morley. Ernest Walker, too, described the pieces as "worthy of a place beside Morley's ballets," while Ian Spink observes that they are undeserving of their neglect "since many are attractive pieces, different rather than inferior to Morley's."The pieces are suitable for unaccompanied performance by soloists or small choir (SST). Also included in the edition are three four-voice madrigals that may also be by the younger John Hilton." -- Provided by publisher. |

| Contents |
To sport our merry meeting -- My mistress frowns ; You lovers that have loves astray -- Phœbe tells me when I woo -- Cœlia's wound and mine were one -- Dear, may some other, since not I -- Though me you do disdain to view -- Love wounded me -- The woodbine, Flora, doth decay -- I heard a withered maid complain -- Leave off, sad Philomel -- O had not Venus been beguiled -- Tell me, dear, fain would I know -- Faint not, lovers, for denials -- Gifts of feature and of mind -- As Flora slept, and I lay waking -- When Flora frowns I hope for peace -- Love laid his yoke upon me -- Now is the summer springing -- Come, sprightly mirth -- Come, let's crown this famous night -- Hero, kiss me or I die ; Quickly send it then unto me -- If it be love to sit and mourn -- Fly, Philomel, to deserts fly -- Who master is in music's art -- Appendix: Crowned with flowers ; When as I glance on my lovely Phyllis ; O sacred tree. |
