The nine Shakespearean Madrigals of Op. 9 are arranged in three sets of three. Inspired by the homophonic English madrigals of Dowland and Weelks, as sung by Baber's high school chorus, these are easily his most-often-performed works. The bawdy text and jaunty, asymmetrical rhythms of No. 1 were problematical in the mid-1950's and early 1960's, but objections to these elements have waned over time. Typical of Shakespeare's emotional range, these madrigals vary in style from wistfully sincere to farcical, from love songs to satires. Their occasional difficulties are easily managed by a good high school chamber choir.
