Bateson, Thomas. Organist of the cathedral at Chester about the year 1600. He published a set of "English Madrigals, for three, four, and five voices;" he also contributed to Morley's collection of madrigals, called "The Triumphs of Oriana." Bateson is justly placed among the best of our madrigal writers.
