Description

Like many other madrigalists, Bennet often chose his texts either from translations of the first Italian pieces to be brought to England in Yonge’s Musica Transalpina , or from those already used by Morley. Two direct comparisons may be made between Morley and Bennet in O sleep, fond fancy (to identical words) and the effect of the former’s Come, lovers, follow me on the latter’s Come, shepherd, follow me.
