A mesmerizing work from our friend Jeffrey Ryan, 'On Monsieur's Departure' was commissioned by musica intima in 2008 and recorded on our JUNO Award nominated 2010 album, into light. Elizabeth I's beautifully restrained writing is echoed in Jeff's challenging but breathtaking setting - this one is worth the work! Perfect for an advanced university or community choir.

Ryan: On Monsieur's Departure
We are not a traditional publisher - 80% of profits go directly to the composers, and musica intima only retains a 20% administration fee. Please order the number of copies you intend to print, and continue to support the composers who create choral music. This art form would not exist without them.
Many years in the dreams of ensemble singers, musica printima was formally established in 2022, as a composer-centric, exclusively digital publisher. With a small but spectacular catalogue of music commissioned by, written for, or performed by musica intima, the imprint exists to ensure that composers intentions are honoured in the publishing of their works, and that the profits find their way back to the composer, without the publisher interfering. 80% of earnings from musica printima sales go to the composer - without whom, these works would never have come to life. Please support their art by not photocopying this music.
