 | | Holborne contributed to the flowering of English art, music and letters associated with Queen Elizabeth I. Although a lesser figure than William Skakespeare, Sir Philip Sidney Edmund Spencer, Nicholas Hilliard and William Byrd, Holborne's music was, nevertheless, greatly respected in his own time and deserves wider recognition today. |
 | | Holborn moved in the highest circles (he was a courtier) and had an enviable reputation as a musician. |
 | | Anthony Holborne was born around 1545, died in 1602, and was as the booklet points out, a lesser but still greatly respected composer (and not only composer, but also poet and diplomat) from that musical and artistic flowering associated with the court of the first Queen Elizabeth. |
