Despite this piece being named as a Madrigal, it actually belongs to the romantic period, having been composed in around 1840.

The composer Robert Cummings writes – “While Robert Lucas Pearsall wrote instrumental and orchestral music, he is best known for his vocal works, particularly for his madrigals and part songs, which he composed as a means of reviving Renaissance-era styles. He expanded on, rather than copied, them, adding structural features from the Classical period to forge a unique pastiche style, which yielded several masterly works, including the madrigals ‘Great god of love’ and ‘Lay a garland’.”
