Madrigal

Each player gets a slogan or a different standard sentence. In turns the players enter the stage, singing their sentence in a choir-like medieval fashion in an own melody that is repeated until it sounds like a four-part. (NB. This is reminiscent of a musical machine.)

While three players keep going the fourth player steps forward and does, as a solo in the same style, the madrigal. The text they sing in their solo is a mix of all the words from the four sentences. The solo stops when a new sentence is formed in a new melody. With this new melody and sentence the player steps back into the accompaniment. The other players take turns doing the same thing until 4 new, original sentences have been formed and the song stops.
