Of Richard Dering , a selection of whose madrigals you will hear this evening, Sir Richard Terry-one of the leading authorities on Tudor and Elizabethan music-has said :
Dering's Canzonets are little gems of-sheer beauty. His Cantiones have breadth and dignity together with a wide range of emotional expression. But in the sense that they expressed themselves in the older contrapuntal formula and were comparatively unaffected by the trend in the direction of monody, their music may fairly be described as the English madtigalpure English madrigal-in its last phase.
