Answer:
Information on Composition
English madrigals were written during the Renaissance as a sort of retreat from the typical
monotonous song of earlier times. Many madrigals are written with poetry about love and
emotions. They are generally light and springy sounding and have concise rhymed lines with
love song themes that are generally not very deep. Madrigals place emphasis on the text of the
work.
It Was a Lover and His Lass was a madrigal likely written in the late 1590’s or early 1600’s. It
uses a love poem written by William Shakespeare from “As You Like It” Act V Scene III. The text
from this work is intentionally simplistic and trivial, as it is meant to be playfully recited by the
Bard of Avon.
