  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>Upon the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 Matthew Locke received three places in the king's Musick: private composer to the King in the place of John Coprario, composer in the wind music in place of Alfonso Ferrabosco (ii), and a new place as composer for the band of violins. He was also made organist to the Queen at her chapel (probably because of his Catholic religion), and he composed the music for the elaborate celebrations marking the return of the King to London. Locke was then thirty-eight years old, and in his spare time he moonlighted as composer for the Duke of York's Theatre Company organized by Sir William Davenant.</jats:p>
