  • 15/2758H - Ruth Morris Gray has created a spirited and artful setting of Shakespeare's flirtatious text from "Much Ado About Nothing." Also a fabulous choice for smaller ensembles, the piece includes a playful polyphonic chorus of "Hey, nonny, nonny-o" and an accompaniment featuring a driving rhythmic ostinato that underscores the ladies' cry "Men were deceivers ever. To one thing constant never. Sigh no more, ladies."

    I randomly started thinking about this song and remembered that my choir sung this when I was in 8th grade. And yet, I can’t remember what I ate for dinner last night 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

    I'm doing this in a small ensemble and it's so pretty! There's nothing particularly hard about the notes themselves but figuring out the rhythms and where you come in can be a tad bit tricky. All in all, though, it's really fun.

    Sigh no more, ladies, sigh nor more;
    Men were deceivers ever;
    One foot in sea and one on shore,
    To one thing constant never;
    Then sigh not so,
    But let them go,
    And be you blithe and bonny;
    Converting all your sounds of woe
    Into. Hey nonny, nonny.
    Sing no more ditties, sing no mo,
    Or dumps so dull and heavy;
    The fraud of men was ever so,
    Since summer first was leavy.
    Then sigh not so,
    But let them go,
    And be you blithe and bonny,
    Converting all your sounds of woe
    Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.

      Great question! Our recordings are typically performed by professional singers that are contracted by a studio in the Indianapolis area!

    Could somebody please explain the ornamentations/notations above certain bars in this choral score - the circles in squares with random numbers in them above random bars (measures for you Americans)? They appear to be surplus to any instructions for pianist or singers and do not appear in other editions of this score.

    My classmate read this better than u sung it... Which my classmate did wonderful. Im not sure where as to plant my finger opposed to this song. Rather contradictory to the theme of the poem and maybe too theatrical when it is realy more of an alarming response to a reasonable conduct, speaking of an immoral silencing to women about the insincere behavior of man. Sigh no mo' ladies, sigh no mo'.
