Matthew Locke was born in 1621 or 1622 most likely in Devon and died in 1677 in London. He was amongst the most important and distinctive musical personalities of the English Baroque era.
During the Commonwealth Locke frequented aristocratic and middle-class circles. In 1660, the year of the restoration, Locke was appointed court composer by Charles II and was made responsible for a variety of tasks. He kept this post until his death. His successor was Henry Purcell.
