On the other end of the spectrum is Giles Farnaby, who worked as a joiner all his life and was never employed as a professional musician. Thankfully someone recognised his talent: although he died in poverty, at his burial he was described not as a joiner but as ‘Gyles Farnaby musitian’.

There's John Bull, whose philandering caught up with him after a violent altercation with a priest. The Archbishop of Canterbury was damning: ‘The man hath more music than honesty and is as famous for marring of virginity as he is for fingering of organs and virginals’. Bull fled the country forever

There's also music by Erkki-Sven Tüür and I really liked this quote of his: 'Music has to have everything – overwhelming power, illuminating light, endless gentleness and the deepest darkness. Fury, pain, remorse. Everything that makes us human. And the tender touch of redeeming love.'
