Bio
William Boyce (1711–1779) was a leading English composer of the late Baroque and early Classical periods. Born in London, he served as Master of the King's Musick from 1755 and composed extensively for the court, church, and theatre. His output includes symphonies, odes, anthems, and chamber music; the eight symphonies published in 1760 remain his best-known works. Boyce also compiled the influential anthology "Cathedral Music," preserving English sacred music of earlier generations.
