Thomas Weelkes

English composer and organist Thomas Weelkes was baptised in Elsted near Chichester on 25 October 1576. His first volume of madrigals was published in 1597, and he was organist of Winchester College from 1598 for two to three years. From 1601 or 1602 until his death on 30 November 1623 he was organist of Chichester Cathedral. As a composer, he is known mainly for his madrigals, anthems and church services.
