Interestingly, those distracted times lasted 12 years (like other distracted times in Germany). Unfortunately, Tomkins didn't live to see the end of it. Another very interesting composer was William Lawes, also a Royalist, who was killed in a massacre near Chester. His Violin Sonatas with bass

That's correct. Let's hope this doesn't apply to today. I would not be happy with Lord Protector Bill Gates. On 31.03.20 19:51, Alain Veylit wrote: "these distracted times" referred to the Civil War. On 3/30/20 5:29 PM, Tristan von Neumann wrote: ..for these distracted times. (Thomas Tom

Tomkins composed this piece for keyboard and in the manuscript where it appears he has written the date February 14 1649. Some commentators think that it could well have been to mark the anniversary of the execution of Charles I (the discrepancy in dates being due to changes in calendars and Old
