Madrigal by Orlando Gibbons arranged for instrumental quintet.The words of the original are:The silver swan, who living had no note,When death approachedUnlocked her silent throatLeaning her breast against the reedy shore,Thus sang her first and last and sang no moreFarewell all joys, o Death, come close mine eyes:More geese than swans now life, more fools than wise.The pdf file contains score and parts.The sound sample is an electronic preview.
