	HOASM: Thomas Weelkes
		Thomas Weelkes, whose professional career spanned one of the most fertile periods in England's musical history, is without doubt one of her finest composers.
		Similarly, although Weelkes does not display the same elegant and carefully shaded sensitivity to the text as John Wilbye, arguably England's greatest madrigalist, he pushed the use of musical imagery to its limits and often attained a magnificent sonority in his writing.
		Weelkes' highly original treatment of this idea, which is shot through the texture from bass to soprano and ends abruptly as if it were suspended in mid-air, led E. Fellows to believe it represented 'the crack of doom'.

		And for one who claims to be skilled only in musical arts, Weelkes seems most fond of and facile with puns and word play, as in lines 12 and 13-14.
		Weelkes reflects on this sentiment in lines 17-20 of the dedication: 'and, if Jack Cade were alive, yet some of us might live: unlesse we should think, as the Artisans in the Universities in Poland, and Germany thinke, that the Latin tongue comes by reflection.' Weelkes is thus one of the earliest commentators on Shakespeare.
		It is clear then that, in addition to music, Weelkes is interested and learned in general scholarship and scholarly debate, literary arts and rhetoric, theatre arts and the natural sciences (see line 23).

		He is the real musical embodiment of the English character in his fantastic unexpectedness.’ Curiously, Weelkes is also a rather enigmatic figure.
		There is ‘absolutely no concrete information about him before 1597, the year in which he published his first collection of music, Madrigals to 3, 4, 5 and 6 voices.’ Even the year of his birth is inferred.
		In general, Arnold has noted that Weelkes ‘always delights in finding poems where the music can portray literally the meaning of the words.’ But the madrigal has still more deep and intriguing features.

		Thomas Morely transplanted the form into England in the 1590s; this marked the beginning of the brief but brilliant flowering of the English madrigal.
		Some of these composers, such as Morely and Weelkes, followed the Italian model closely; others, such as Byrd and Gibbons, mostly stayed with the simpler English form of the consort song, where the tune remains in one voice, word-painting is not used, and strophic form is preferred to the continuous structure of the madrigal proper.
