Four arms, two necks, one wreathing (mp3)

Details

This audio features a composition by Thomas Weelkes, who lived from 1576 to 1623. The dwsChorale performs it, although they only sing the first verse. The lyrics depict a scene of two beings intertwined, with four arms, two necks, and one shared breath. They also describe two hearts that amplify their sighs in a mutual exchange, all accompanied by a melodious "Fa la la la la la".
