Elhanan Winchester, 1794

Description

The way that the fuge starts has unusual timing, but I think there's a tune in the Shenandoah Harmony that does the same. It's easy if the basses are awake.🤞


Text

Alas! my spirits sink!
My griefs and woes are great,
I scarce can speak or act or think,
So dismal is my state.

My heart if fill'd with grief,
My soul is overborne;
And what can give a man relief,
That can do nought but morn?
