Set Me as a Seal

This is Rene Clausen’s Set Me As  A Seal - a deeply moving love song that describes love that is so strong even “many waters” cannot quench it.

Fair Phyllis

This video features Cantiamo, Bella Voce’s small ensemble, singing Fair Phyllis, a madrigal by  Renaissance composer John Farmer. It’s a frolicsome song about a shepherdess named Phyllis that gets lost while she is tending her sheep and then is found by her lover.  Bella Voce members have fond memories (and a few photos!) of rolling hills covered with sheep from our trips to Ireland and Scotland.
