Jetz ists genug

Jacob Regnart was a prolific composer of the late Renaissance, known for his secular part-songs. This work, Jetz ists genug, is a secular German madrigal for two sopranos and tenor (SST). The text expresses a man's resolution to abandon the deceptions of women and worldly folly, seeking instead honour in his later years. The music likely reflects this sentiment with a direct and perhaps forthright musical setting, characteristic of the period's madrigal tradition which often sought to musically embody the text's meaning.
