Product Description

What If I Seek for Love (1601), by English composer Robert Jones (c.1577-1617), who was one of the most prolific composers and lutenists of his day. Of the more popular musical forms of English Renaissance (the late 15th century to the early 1600s) was the lute song: a piece for single voice accompanied by the lute. Most lute songs are about love and tended to be a rather melancholy affair with disdainful ladies refusing to acknowledge the ardent advances of hopeful lovers as is What If I Seek for Love. This 2023 setting is scored for 4-part SATB ensemble and keyboard accompaniment. It can be performed either a cappella or with accompaniment, the SATB voicings will stand alone The simple melody and poetry of Jones is retained and embellished with the piano accompaniment. This is an excellent piece for young singers, introducing them to style, form and technique. Performance time: 1:30+-
