Love not me for comely grace

Love not me for comely grace is a madrigal composed by John Wilbye, an influential English composer known for his delicate vocal writing and sensitivity to text. This piece exemplifies his style, which often features 'false relations' between major and minor modes. Wilbye is recognized as one of the most prominent figures in the English madrigal tradition, and his works remain popular in modern choral collections. The piece was recorded by LibriVox volunteers in 2012 as part of the Fortnightly Poetry project.
