 Richard Edwards Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Though the literary merit of his one surviving play is itself sufficient, the stature of Richard Edwards as an important Tudor dramatist is assured by the sad historical fact that Damon and Pithias is the only extant example of a play unquestionably written by a Master of the Children of the Chapel Royal.
Edwards's appointment to the post of master is evidence of his reputation as both a musician and dramatist.
According to Leicester Bradner, it implies that he was "the chief ornament of polite literature in the eyes of his contemporaries." But Edwards's satiric wit in attacking less-polite abuses of the Court suggests also a humanist's awareness of the evils of power and of the dangers inherent in pointing out those evils.

 Richard Strauss: Man, Musician, Enigma by Michael Kennedy, ISBN 0521581737 And Judge Dredd by John Wagner, ISBN ...
For the fifty years since his death on September 8, 1949, Richard Strauss has remained dogmatically elusive in the wider body of musical and historical criticism.
Lauded as nothing less than the "greatest musical figure" of his time by Canadian musician, Glenn Gould, in 1962, Strauss also has attracted his share of posthumous epithets: in summary, an artist who lived off his own fat during his later years.
Kennedy clearly elucidates his enigmatic subject by building his analysis around the few constants in Strauss' life: his profoundadmiration for German culture, his dependence on his own family for guidance, and his "Nietzschean total absorption in art." This frame offers everyone from Straussian scholars to general readers an insightful and easy-to-follow biographical narrative.

The fourth musician (the bass player) was a perfect contrast, a mysterious, platinum blond silent type in a suit with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.
Edwards’ emotional vulnerability shines from center stage, and is enhanced by a talented rhythm section, keyboards, layered guitar lines, and a trumpet (during live shows) for good measure.
Bringing in other musicians to assist during part of a set not only shows great collaborative skills, but adds excitement and spice to a performance.

 Music - John Wilbye
Wilbye was born at Diss, Norfolk, the son of a well-to-do tanner, who was evidently himself something of a musician, since he bequeathed his lute to his son.
When about twenty years of age Wilbye became household musician to the Kytson family of Hengrave Hall, Suffolk, and he continued in the service of this family for thirty years.
Wilbye's output of composition was not great, but he is reckoned the finest English madrigalist, excelling especially in the more serious style (by which he is to-day, as it happens, less known).
