Luke Flintoft

A Bachelor of Arts in Music was bestowed upon Luke Flintoft in 1700. He was a composer and chorister but more than likely a member of the chorus who was not required to sing. Having been buried at Westminster Abbey it is known that Flintoft was at least a minor canon. His composition -- a double chant in G-mol -- carries some weight in musicography as it contests Morley's claim as being "the earliest". ~ Keith Johnson
