The group's first piece—William Byrd’s “This sweet and merry month of May”, whose ending celebrated Queen Elizabeth I with the words And greet Eliza with a rhyme: O beauteous Queen of Second Troy, Take well in worth a simple toy. provided a great name for the group. Eliza’s Toyes was born, and existed every summer in Madison, Wisconsin. In 2008, a fair number of singers who were in Eliza's Toyes are living in Madison once again. Thus we gather, outside of the Festival, for the joy of music making. It is our pleasure to continue sharing this wonderful body of music with you for the second year!  less

It is rather Fine in its simplicity hiding and then revealing a multitude of harmonic possibilities, starting as it does in unison and suddenly breaking into glorious harmony. Bill’s descant is a nice touch, like adding a cherry to the cake. It is dedicated to "Spirits Free" of the Burlingame United Methodist Church, Burlingame, California.

Of a Rose, a lovely Rose, Of a Rose is all my song. Hearken to me, both old and young, How this Rose began to spring; A fairer rose to mine liking In all this world ne know I none. Five branches of that rose there been, The which be both fair and sheen; The rose is called Mary, heaven's queen. Out of her bosom a blossom sprang. The first branch was of great honour: That blest Marie should bear the flow'r; There came an angel from heaven's tower To break the devil's bond. The second branch was great of might, That sprang upon Christmas night; The star shone over Bethlem bright, That man should see it both day and night. The third branch did spring and spread; Three kinges then the branch gan led Unto Our Lady in her child-bed; Into Bet...    less
