English.

Weelkes is best known for both his Anglican Church music and secular vocal music (i.e., madrigals, balletts, and canzonets). His madrigals are known for having humorous or dramatic texts and for their expressive use of word painting, as well as for their use of chromaticism for emotional effect. “Cease, Sorrows Now” is one of the madrigals in Weelkes’ first publication, published in 1597, Madrigals to 3, 4, 5, & 6 Voyces.
