Boosey and Hawkes Kikkehihi (SSA a cappella) SSA A Cappella Composed by Johann Hermann Schein

This short piece was written early in Schein's life and is typical of the Italian madrigal. The polyphonic writing offers each voice a melodic line to shape, and imitation to listen for the other voices. Kikkehihi is a rousing way to begin a program and to introduce the choir and audience to the charm of madrigals.
