A tradition from at least the start of the Burgundian School of music masters, the elegy carried over into the English School, if not the Italian or German schools. What follows on this page are those elegies I have found written by Flemish and English composers upon the death of a Master or, in the case of the Weelkes piece, a friend, usually on the day the writer learned of the death.
These are also presented on the usual page for the composer, but are here presented on the same page for convenience. I have here presented them only in NoteWorthy format, and to read that you will again need the NoteWorthy Viewer 2 found
here.
