	Thomas Morley Summary
		Thomas Morley (1557 or 1558 – October 1602) was an English composer, theorist, editor and organist of the Renaissance, and the foremost member of the English Madrigal School.
		However, Morley evidently spent some time away from East Anglia, for he later referred to the great Elizabethan composer of sacred music, William Byrd, as his teacher; while the dates he studied with Byrd are not known, they were most likely in the early 1570s.
		Morley was highly placed by the mid-1590s and would have had easy access to the theatrical community; certainly there was then, as there is now, a close connection between prominent actors and musicians.

	the biography of Thomas Morley - life story
		Morley was employed at St. Paul's in London and became a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in 1592, publishing his first set of part-songs in 1593.
		Morley wrote music for the liturgy of the Church of England, service settings, psalm settings and a number of Latin motets, under the influence of Byrd and a possible indication of his own religious sympathies at the time.
		Of particular interest is the setting of the De profundis, Out of the deep, in a second setting as a verse anthem, a peculiarly English form derived from the consort song of the period, involving the contrast of solo voices with the choir, with instrumental accompaniment from the organ or other groups of instruments.

	Thomas Morley, A Plaine and easie inrtroduction
		Morley's father is thought to have been a verger at Norwich Cathedral where at some point Thomas Morley was a chorister, becoming Choirmaster and Organist by 1583.
		As a composer Morley was a key figure in that golden period of English music occurring during the reign of Elizabeth I when a school of talented composers raised English music to a height unsurpassed before or since.
		Morley never allows theoretical complexity to obscure the fundamental objective of music, a point which the pupil Philomathes makes through the following observation: As for musick, the principal thing we seek in it, is to delight the eare, which cannot so perfectly be done in these hard proportions, as otherwise.

		He became organist of the cathedral in 1583, graduated BMus at Oxford in 1588, by 1589 was organist of St Paul's Cathedral in London, and from 1592 was a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal.
		In 1596, Morley was granted by Queen Elizabeth the monopoly of music printing, upon the expiration of William Byrd's patent,2 and promptly assiged it in his turn to its current holder Thomas East, but clearly employed it to help him promote not only his own work, but also the Italianate madrigal in general.
		The Canzonets for five and six voices (1597) contain Morley's maturest work and reveal him well in sad and affecting moods as well as cheerful: he was clearly of a mercurial temperament.

		Thomas Morley (1557-1602) was a prolific and well-known composer of English madrigals, and two of them, Now is the Month of Maying and My Bonnie Lass, have become staples of the trombone quartet library since their publication in 1965.
		Both arrangements feature challenging slide technique but don’t go too high, making them suitable for performance in just about any situation and contributing to their enduring popularity among trombonists.
		It’s not one of the madrigals, but an example of Morley’s liturgical music, a Latin motet.
