My bonny lass she smileth is a famous English ballett, written by Thomas Morley and published in 1595 in his ''First Book of Balletts to Five Voices''. A ballett was the English form of the Italian balletto, a light, homophonic, strophic song for three or more singers, distinguished by dance-like rhythms and "fa-la-la" refrains. It is based on an Italian madrigal, published by Gastoldi in 1591 (see ref 1 and supporting recording). The ChoralWiki gives the following words for the two opening verses. :My bonny lass she smileth, :when she my heart beguileth. :Fa la la la... :Smile less, dear love, therefore, :and you shall love me more. :Fa la la la... The song was parodied by Peter Schickele (http://www.schickele.com/composition/twomadrigals.htm) (writing as P.D.Q. Bach) as: :My bonny lass she smelleth :Making the flowers jealouth. :Fa la la la... Form: AABB The ballett is in mode 7 (Mixolydian) ==References== Phillip Ledger (ed) ''The Oxford Book of English Madrigals'' (1978) Oxford University Press, and co-issued recording, by Pro Cantione Antiqua 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My bonny lass she smileth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
