Hi Trevor,

I'm a little slow to respond to this request, but there is a wealth of English
madrigals that would probably fit the bill. The Oxford Book of English
Madrigals and the Chester Books of Madrigals would be good places to start.
Check 300 years of English Partsongs published by Faber for some more recent
offerings. Henry Purcell wrote for just about every combination of voices, so
there might be something worth looking for there.

Hope this helps,
Craig, Burnaby BC
