Summary
The following persons are mentioned in history as graduates in music, but no record of their degrees has been found in the University registers:—
Mus. Doc.—John Hamboys. Flourished 1470. See p. 15.
Mus. Bac.—John Floyd, a Gentleman of the Chapel of Henry VIII., who made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. After his return, he died in the King's Chapel, and was buried in the Savoy Church; and the following inscription was placed on his tomb: “Johannes Floyd, virtutis et religionis cultor. Obiit 3 Ap. 1523.” There is a composition by him in the British Museum. Add. MSS. 31,922.
Mus. Bac.—Ambrose Payne. “Of your charity pray for the soul of Sir Ambrose Payne, Parson of Lambeth and Bachelor of Music, and Chapleyn to the lords Cardinals Bonsar and Morton, who departed May the XXVIII., A.D. 1528.” This inscription was found on a tombstone in Lambeth Parish Church.
Mus. Doc.—Musgrave Heighington. Born in 1680; was organist of Yarmouth, and afterwards of Leicester. He apparently practised the profession of music at Dublin for some time. His compositions are six select odes and music to “The Enchanter, or Harlequin Merlin,” a pantomime published at Dublin. It is not known at which University he graduated.
Mus. Bac.—George Marson, one of the contributors to “The Triumphs of Oriana,” in 1601. Some of his services and anthems are extant in MS.
Mus. Bac.—Thomas Hunt; contributed to “The Triumphs of Oriana.” The Barnard MS. Collection contains an anthem by him.
1463. Item, admissus fuit Henricus Abyngton in musica bachalaureus, 22 die Febr. cuius communa 2od.—Cambridge Grace Book, A., p. 28a.
