Wikipedia, May 2, 2016 (Thomas Bateson; Thomas Bateson, Batson or Betson (c. 1570-1630) was an English writer of madrigals in the early 17th century; he is said to have been organist of Chester Cathedral in 1599, and is believed to have been the first musical graduate of Trinity College, Dublin; he served as Vicar Choral and organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin from 1609 until his death; he is known to have written church music, but only one of his anthems has survived, a seven-voice composition entitled "Holy, Lord God Almighty;" his fame rests on madrigals, which give him an important place among Elizabethan composers; he published a set of madrigals in 1604 and a second set in 1618, and both collections have been reprinted in recent years; he died in 1630)
