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]
