Wonderful video. Thanks so much. I sang "Weep..." the first time in 1975. It's been a favorite of mine ever since. It is (as you say) easy to learn; but I find something new to it every time I sing it or teach it to new group of singers. It seems to me to be one of those "perfect" songs which requires each singer to be completely "in tune" and "in sync" with every other singer in the ensemble.
What a wonderful introduction, not only to madrigal singing, but to the whole concept of temperament, taught with humor and approachability. Bravo to this whole series!
A very helpful caution in singing this "easy"(!) one. Forwarded to several choirs! Also I would have bought some CD's but Amazon want £20.53 to post a CD to Russia...... I climbed the stepladder to see how many I Fagiolini CD's I had.. and it appears I have some catching up to do! But clearly not via Amazon! I always liked those concerts where one could put cash in hand to the group.... like Tonu Kaljuste's group before ECM discovered them. .... and many more since. ... it's a "keep music live" affirmation even if it is a disc!!! Keep these gems coming!
Hello, congratulations for the video!! I like the concept. I have a questions, in choir rehearsals when is necesary to use a keyboard to work on intonation, how can I tune the piano to get those pure thirds? Can this work for other choral pieces for other periods? How has been your experience ( if you have used keyboards) ? Thanks in advance for your answers!!
I thought no-one had noticed... My colleague Eamonn Dougan. We present Choral Chihuahua together along with Harry Christophers. A purely self-indulgent surprise for him. Think nothing of it.
Fab !!! Thank you I Fagiolini :) Love to sing with you!
I have just sung this with my other half in our front room. Super. Robert is brilliantly funny, witty, and engaging. Thank you!

I love this piece. Thank you!
Done this with a couple of my choirs here. They didn't have to think about "pure" intervals - they came naturally!! Gorgeous piece, by the way!

I think we got posed this in our ensemble singing class at RNCM. Fiendish, but lovely!
Only one volume? That's too bad because that is a stellar piece.
Getting dafter by the week! But thanks for the explanation and beautiful piece.

I love singing this one, even if the opening's a bit scary for the bass. Don't miss it live tonight at 6pm
Ah the vintage memes of yore, good stuff 😂

Was that a nod to "Antichrist" from Lars von Trier at 2:57? Haha. So random.
No. I mean Yes. Er....
Robert: Please explain why the minor third was considered dissonant fpr so long.
This song should always come with the warning though, to cease not, rather than to see snot!
Okay, I'll bite.
What's the deal with the changing head shots in the background (and with the dude in them)?

"To swell so high that I may drown me in you" Does this mean what it seems to mean?
Don't think it can on this occasion as the poem is addressed to the eyes.
