Description
Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656) stands as one of the most significant Welsh-born composers of the Golden Age of British music, and this comprehensive biography examines his remarkable life and artistic legacy. Spanning a tumultuous period in English history, Tomkins served the Crown and the Church at both the Chapel Royal and Worcester Cathedral, maintaining his compositional output despite extraordinary hardship. He endured the English Civil War, the suppression of church music, the closure of the Chapel Royal, the destruction of his organ at Worcester, and the city's devastation, yet continued to compose secular works that demonstrated his resilience and creative brilliance. This Routledge study explores how Tomkins navigated these revolutionary times whilst creating music that bridged the Elizabethan and Baroque eras, making him an essential figure for understanding British musical history.
