John Bull (1562-1628)

Bio

John Bull served in Elizabeth I's court and was an organist. He received a doctor of music from both Cambridge and Oxford and taught at Gresham College. He moved to Belgium and was a Cathedral organist. He is considered one of the originators of contrapuntal keyboard music and may have written God Save the Queen, though the authorship is contested.
