Arrangement of this very effective and affective anthem by Thomas Weelkes
This is one of the greatest emotional expressions of the late Renaissance.
Absalom, son of King David, was a handsome prince and considered by some to be worthy of the throne of Israel,
even before David's death.
One day, as Absalom went riding, a tree's branches caught his luxuriant hair
and he hung there helpless.
He was slain by his enemies.
King David was inconsolable.
