Philip Rosseter

It is likely that Campion was the author of the book's preface, which criticizes complex counterpoint and "intricate" harmonies that leave the words inaudible.

The company had lost their royal patronage in 1606 as a result of their satire of Jacobean court scandals, but Rosseter was permitted to restore their former title, the Children of the Queen's Revels, in 1610.

[5] Rosseter remained connected to the Jacobean court during this period, in 1612 and 1613 he produced three plays by the "Children of the Chapel" for Prince Charles, Princess Elizabeth and the Prince Palatine,[6] and he played the lute on 15 February 1613 in George Chapman's The Memorable Masque of the Middle Temple and Lincoln's Inn, a part of the celebrations at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Frederick V of the Palatinate.

Boundary changes brought the site within the City of London, however, where the lord mayor and aldermen strongly objected to the establishment of the theatre.

One of his compositions was used by Martin Shaw and then arranged by Mont Campbell to become 'Garden of Earthly Delights' on the album Arzachel by Prog Rock group Uriel in 1969.
