The Silver Swan, " "My Heart to Thee Now Makes Its Plea, " and "Now Is the Month of Maying" make up this set of famous madrigals for two flutes and two clarinets. There are two slower melodies and one fast one to add variety to this suite. Each piece could be played by itself or all three could be played together as a set. These simple vocal pieces are excellent to develop ensemble playing techniques such as balance and intonation. Three Renaissance Madrigals is arranged by David Marlatt for woodwind quartet.
