	Thomas Campion - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		THOMAS CAMPION (1567-1620), English poet and musician, was born in London on the 12th of February 1567, and christened at St Andrew's, Holborn.
		He was the son of John Campion of the Middle Temple, who was by profession one of the cursitors of the chancery court, the clerks "of course," whose duties were to draft the various writs and legal instruments in correct form.
		Campion set little store by his English lyrics; they were to him "the superfluous blossoms of his deeper studies," but we may thank the fates that his precepts of rhymeless versification so little affected his practice.

		THOMAS CAMPION, who was born on Ash Wednesday, 12 February, 1566/7, was the son of well-to-do middle-class parents.
		His father, John Campion, was a member of the Middle Temple, and, by profession, one of the cursitors of the chancery court, the clerks “of course” (who made out the writs de cursu according to the procedure requisite in the various districts).
		It has been thought by some that, in view of the fact that a large number of Campion’s best friends were adherents to the older faith, and that he did not dissemble a distaste for puritans and puritanism, he was himself a Catholic.

	CD Review
		A prototype of this type of gentleman-composer was Thomas Campion who, born in 1567, was educated during the fifteen-eighties at Cambridge, where he picked up some expertise in classical metrics and scansion, before proceeding to study law at Gray's Inn, London.
		Even so, one relishes Campion's songs as adornments of the good life, and notes that he is unique among composers of lute ayres in that he set (apart from a handful of hymns) no verses but his own.
		Campion's metrical dexterity as poet is musically enacted as he 'wanders astray' through 'all-confounding night', stumbling like a blind, or maybe a drunken, man. But the final clause begins low and rises as the uncertainty of earthy mists aspires to the certainty of God's love.

	Some unobserved information about John Dowland, Thomas Campion and Philip Rosseter
		During my research on the history of the lute in Sweden I happened to stumble across some information about John Dowland, Thomas Campion, and Philip Rosseter, which seems to be unknown to modern biographers of these composers.
		The entry of Campion or 'Campianus' is dated 24 August 1604, and it is more extensive than that of Dowland.
		Campion's song was probably written specifically for Bodeck, and this, as well as the meaning of the text, implies that they had developed a rather close friendship.

		However Dowland has been fortunate in the recording studio and Campion much neglected (this appears to be the only disc dedicated to him currently available) so Naxos deserve our thanks for having brought Rickards and Linell back together for a second disc.
		What is particularly encouraging is to find a whole disc of songs, not just a few raisins in a cake of viol music which is how Dowland and his contemporaries are normally represented.
		Campion's lyrics turn up occasionally in anthologies of poetry and I was curious to hear the songs.
