NORCOME, Daniel, lay-clerk of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, contributed a madrigal, 'With angel's face and brightness,' to 'The Triumphes of Oriana,' 1601. Nothing is known of his biography. [App. p.732 "Add that he was born at Windsor in 1576. Having embraced the tenets of the Romish Church, he was deprived of his lay clerkship and went to Brussels, where he became one of the instrumentalists in the Vice-regal Chapel. His name occurs in a list of the members of the chapel in 1641."]
