By
Richard Carlton
A minor canon of Norwich Cathedral, Carlton belonged also to the older generation of madrigal composers, particularly fond of the ‘Byrd’ or English cadence of flat versus sharp leading-notes. Although he claims to have laboured ‘somewhat to imitate the Italian style’, he admitted in his preface, ‘I cannot forget that I am an English man.’
