About This Song
About "Morley: Balletts to 5 Voyces, Book 1: No. 17, I Love, alas, I Love Thee" by The King's Singers
Morley's ballett sighs with lovelorn grace, the refrain circling like a moth around flame. Voices lean into the repeated 'alas' with poised melancholy, sweetness and ache inseparableâcourtly longing rendered in bright, dancing steps.
