Francis Pilkington (1565 - 1638) Royaume-Uni Francis Pilkington (ca. 1565 – 1638) was an English composer, lutenist and singer. Pilkington received a B.Mus. degree from Oxford in 1595. In 1602 he became a singing man at Chester Cathedral and spent the rest of his life serving the cathedral. He became a minor canon in 1612, took holy orders in 1614 and was named precentor of the cathedral in 1623. Although he was a churchman, Pilkington composed largely secular music—ayres, madrigals, and lute songs. He died in Chester. (Hide extended text)...(Read all) Source : Wikipedia
