About Follow Me, Sweet Love and Soul's Delight
Michael East, a composer of the English madrigal tradition, presents this captivating SAB setting of a secular text. The words express a plea for devotion and commitment, a soul divided and in danger of being lost unless the beloved reciprocates fully. The music would have been designed for intimate, amateur performance in the context of the madrigal's heyday. East's skill in setting English verse is evident in this expressive example of the genre.
