Daniel Bacheler
Daniel Bacheler (1572–1619) was a successful English lutenist and composer. He served as an apprentice to his uncle, Thomas Cardell, a lutenist and dancing master in Queen Elizabeth I's court. Bacheler went on to work for notable figures such as Sir Francis Walsingham, Robert Devereux, and Queen Anne of Denmark. He composed around fifty lute pieces, including pavans, galliards, almaines, and fantasies. Notably, he created variations on the popular tune Monsieurs Almaine. Bacheler's ornamental style and technical skill are sometimes cited as reasons for the relative neglect of his music today.
