Composed in 1840, this popular eight-part madrigal is also in the anthology Madrigals and Partsongs. Replete with fine polyphonic writing and rich and expressive sonorities, it provides a fine example of Pearsall's enduring interest in early music and the Renaissance style. Also available is Pearsall's setting of this piece using the Latin words of the anthem Tu es Petrus.
