When I Behold (No.1)

Editor Martin Grayson
Publisher. Info. Martin Grayson
Copyright
Misc. Notes No. 1 of Songs of Sadness for the Viols & Voice, To get all the words you need to read the soprano part (4 pages). The parts suffer from the mysterious disappearing instrument name disease. I will cure this and send another set sometme soon. In the meantime the clefs give a good clue what you have!
