Tossup

A descending E harmonic minor scale, with trills on D-sharp and A, begins a song that asks these title objects, “why do you hold back?” A collection titled for these objects includes 20 madrigals set to poems by Luigi Tansillo and a motet called “Vide Homo.” Some of these objects belonging to Saint Peter title Orlando di Lasso’s (10[1])final composition. (10[1])A cantata by Barbara Strozzi is called (10[1])“[these objects] mie (10[3])(“MEE-yay”).” These objects are represented with a tetrachord descending from A to E in pieces (10[1])with adjectives such as antique novae and coactae (“co-ACT-ay”) in a collection titled for seven of these objects. (-5[1])An Englishman wrote an ayre (-5[1])(“air”) titled for these objects that was the basis for seven pavanes for lute (10[1])and tells these (-5[1])objects to “fall (10[1])from (10[2])your springs.” (10[3])For 10 points, John Dowland’s (10[1])collection Lachrimae (10[3])(“LACK-ree-may”) is based on a (10[1])sad (10[1])song called (10[1])“Flow, [what (10[1])objects]?” ■END■ (10[2])
