Weep, O Mine Eyes
"Weep, O Mine Eyes" is one of the most famous madrigals of the English composer John Bennet.[1] It is written for four vocal parts and was first published in his first collection, Madrigalls to Fovre Voyces, in 1599.[2][3] The composition is an homage to John Dowland, being based partly on Dowland's most famous piece, "Flow My Tears".[4][5]
