Well
-known in his day as one
of the most important
contributors to East's
Whole Book of
Psalms (1592),
Farmer was in the service
of the Earl of Oxford
who, more than any other
nobleman, established the
professional Elizabethan
theatre. In the year that
Burbidge opened the Globe
Theatre, these 18
madrigals (the most
famous is probably
Fair Phyllis)
gave the composer an
attractive place in the
history of English
music.
