Call to Remembrance Richard Farrant d.1580
This is based on Psalm 25 verses 5 and 6.
Richard Farrant was an early English composer and like many from his era, his early life is not well documented. He is listed as a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in 1552 so it is speculated that he was born around 1525.
He was active in ceremonies around the royal family participating in the funerals of Edward VI, Mary I and the coronations of Mary I and Elizabeth I.
As well as being a composer he also wrote plays and he created the first Blackfriars Theatre.
