Description
Richard Schletty (rschletty) writes: A 3-part instrumental madrigal called "Silver Swan" was written in MIDI notation by Feter. Richard imported the MIDI file into Finale 2008 and applied the words of Sir Thomas Wyatt to Feter's notes. Our vocal version of the song is called "What Should I Say?"
Feter's original instrumental soundtrack (Silver Swan) is here:

In this posted version, Andreas Hermann (Dirigent) does a very fine rendition of our madrigal, singing all three voice parts. We thank him so much for helping us to realizing our vision.

Lyrics
That Faith Is Dead, and True Love Disregarded
WHAT should I say?
—Since Faith is dead,
And Truth away
From you is fled?
Should I be led
With doubleness?
Nay! nay! mistress.
I promised you,
And you promised me,
To be as true
As I would be.
But since I see
Your double heart,
Farewell my part!
Thought for to take
'Tis not my mind;
But to forsake
One so unkind;
And as I find
So will I trust.
Farewell, unjust!
Can ye say nay
But that you said
That I alway
Should be obeyed?
And—thus betrayed
Or that I wist!
Farewell, unkist!
Sir Thomas Wyatt, 1503–1542
