About Elway Bevin
Elway Bevin (c.1554–c.1638) was an English or Welsh composer, theorist, and musician. Bevin's early life is not known. He was a pupil of ThomasTallis, and became Vicar-choral of Wells Cathedral in 1575-78 and organist at Bristol Cathedral fron 1589. He was a member of the Chapel Royal from 1605, but because he was a Catholic he lost the post in 1637. Bevin composed some Anglican church music and a setting of the folk song known as "Browning" in the Cosyn Virginal Book. He also wrote treatises on methods of constructing canons in up to sixty parts, including a Briefe and Short Instruction of the Art of Musick (1631).
