Does anyone know of any reasonably simple 3-part madrigals for upper voices(SSA, SAA, SSS, AAA etc.)?

Thanks,
David

1) Weelkes' "Strike it up, tabor" (in the Oxford Book of Madrigals) is intended for two sopranos and a tenor, but the lowest part only goes down to f so a low alto should manage it.

2) Of Morley's 25 "Canzonets to Three Voices", 15 are intended for upper voices. I have them in a volume with the two-part canzonets, published by Stainer and Bell, edited Fellowes, revised Thurston Dart.

I don't know whether you would consider these to be simple, but they are great fun and worth some effort. If you buy the same volume, you have something to sing until the third singer arrives.
