Description

Explore the life of Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656), a major figure from the Golden Age of British music.

This book details his professional journey serving the Crown and the Church at the Chapel Royal and Worcester Cathedral. Readers will learn how Tomkins navigated immense challenges, including the English Civil War, the suppression of Church music, and the closure of the Chapel Royal. Despite the destruction of his organ at Worcester and the devastation of the city, he found the strength to continue his musical legacy.
