LOCKE, MATTHEW (c. 1630-1677) ,
English
  musician perhaps the earliest
English
  writer for the stage, was born at
Exeter
 , where he became a chorister in the
cathedral
 . His music, written with Christopher Gibbons (son of Orlando Gibbons), for Shirley's masque Cupid and Death, was performed in London in 1653. He wrote some music for Davenant's Siege of Rhodes in 1656; and in 1661 was appointed composer in
ordinary
  to Charles II. During the following years he wrote a number of anthems for the Chapel Royal, and excited some criticism on the
score
  of novelty, to which he replied with considerable heat (
Modern
 
Church
  Music; pre-accused, censured and obstructed. in its Performance before His Majesty,
April
  1st, 1666, &c.; copies in the Fitzwilliam Museum,
Cambridge
 , and the Royal College of Music). A good deal of music for the theatre followed, the most important being for Davenant's productions of The Tempest (1667) and of
Macbeth
  (1672), but some doubt as to this latter has arisen, Purcell, Eccles or Leveridge, being also credited with it. He also composed various songs and instrumental pieces, and published some curious works on musical theory. He died in August 1677, an elegy being written by Purcell.
