"Now is the Month of Maying" is a famous English madrigal originally composed by Thomas Morley in 1595. Sveinbjörn Sveinbjörnsson, the composer of Iceland's national anthem, created an arrangement or setting of this lively Renaissance work. His version likely adapts the cheerful, polyphonic partsong for a new context, blending the English Renaissance tradition with his own musical style developed through studies in Leipzig and Copenhagen.
