Artist Info: Daniel Batchelar

Daniel Bacheler (baptized 16 March 1572 – 1619) was an English lutenist and composer. Of all the English lutenist-composers, he is now credited as probably being the most successful in his own lifetime.

Bacheler was born at Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire, a son of Richard Bachelor and his wife Elizabeth (née Cardell). He served an apprenticeship with his uncle, Thomas Cardell, who was a lutenist and dancing-master in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. [read more...]
