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.
