“…He was an able singer (Ackroyd, 2012;Milsom, 2011;Weir, 2001;Williams, 1971) with a high voice and the ability to read music on sight (Weir, 2001), which was a common skill for the nobility but not one professionals such as minstrels or other itinerant musicians possessed (Stevens, 1979). Henry composed several pieces in his lifetime including masses (Ackroyd, 2012;Siemens, 2009a;Weir, 2001;Williams, 1971), masques (Siemens, 2009a), and motets (Ackroyd, 2012;Kennedy, Kennedy, & Rutherford-Johnson, 2012a;Siemens, 2009a;Weir, 2001). His skill would not rival that of a professional musician, but Henry is still considered one of the best amateur composers in England during the Tudor era (Siemens, 2009a;Stevens, 1979;Wulstan, 1986).…”
