About This Song
About "Hassler: Lustgarten neuer teutscher Gesäng: No. 20, Tanzen und springen" by The King's Singers
Dancing and springing, Hassler's German madrigal leaps with rustic exuberance. The King's Singers bring a crisp, buoyant energy to the lively counterpoint, voices intertwining like villagers in a maypole reel. The tension is joyful: strict polyphonic form barely containing the impulse to kick up one's heels and spin.
