A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Thorne, John

by William Henry Husk

THORNE, John, of York, an eminent musician in the middle of the 16th century, is mentioned by Morley in his 'Introduction.' He was probably attached to York Cathedral. A 3-voice motet by him, 'Stella coeli,' is printed in Hawkins's History. He was also a skilled logician. He died Dec. 7, 1573, and was buried in York Cathedral.
