Using Elizabethan madrigals, I will shed light on the role of modality in the expressive chromaticism that plays a strong role in this repertoire. In 16th-century Italy, the madrigal was a compositional venue for experimentation in musica ficta and temperament, as discussed in the (often polemical) treatises of Zarlino, Vicentino, and Lusitano. By the time Nicholas Yonge published his Italian madrigal anthology Musica Transalpina (1588), this genre was already being naturalized in England. This leads to questions of performance practice, textual analysis, and theoretical assimilation that I examine through critical analysis
