Ways of Zion Do Mourn - Vocal Score

About the author

Michael Wise sang as a child in the choir of the Chapel Royal and served as a countertenor in St George's Chapel, Windsor. He was appointed Organist and Choirmaster at Salisbury Cathedral, then, in 1676, became a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal and, in the last year of his life, held the post of Master of the Children at St Paul's Cathedral. He is best known for his anthems and service settings but also wrote some catches and other secular songs.
