Michael Gilbertson: Come Heavy Sleep: Mixed Choir: Vocal Score

No. 3 from Three Madrigals After Dowland-No. 3 from Three Madrigals After Dowland. Written as a dear friend lay dying at a young age this movement along with the other two from the set ( Weep You No More and Burst Forth My Tears ) call on the singers to represent their deepest feelings of grief anger love and finally rest. Using long sustained pallets of harmonic colour and the dynamics of a whisper this powerfully emotional piece will surely touch both singer and audience.
