  • Nicholson also wrote another work entitled "Joan quote John". Grove Music explains them: "Nicholson's most interesting composition is a madrigal cycle for three voices based on the popular Elizabethan romance of Joan and John. In 11 distinct sections, the cycle treats their courtship, Joan's illness and apparent death, her recovery and their subsequent happiness. Unfortunately only two of the three voice parts of this unusual work have survived (in CL, Lbl, Lcm ). There is no musical connection between this madrigal cycle and the consort song with the same title."
  • The RISM link for the 3-voice madrigal (which has only 2 voices extant) is here.
