Practice file for the mezzo line of "The Nightingale" composed by Thomas Weelkes.
The full song was performed by Studentenvrouwenkoor Medusa at the summer concert (June 20, 2014), in the Aula of the Utrecht University Academy Building, Utrecht, The Netherlands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQYNw8SxqdA

Text:
The Nightingale, the Organ of delight,
the nimble Lark, the Blackbird, and the Thrush,
and all the pretty quiristers of flight,
that chant their Music notes in ev'ry bush:
Let them no more contend who shall excel,
the Cuckoo is the bird that bears the bell.
