Michael Cavendish
An English composer of madrigals and airs. Many of the songs that Cavendish composed include lute accompaniment but are reminiscent of viol accompaniments. His melodic lines were pleasant and seemingly popular and he had a penchant for inserting triple timed measures into otherwise duple-metered verses. A great deal of borrowing occurred both in Cavendish's musical lines and verse. ~ Keith Johnson, All Music Guide
