Baldwin, John (c. 1560–1615)

English singer and composer. At various times he was a singer in St George's Chapel, Windsor, and a gentleman of the Chapel Royal in London. He copied out much music, especially into a book for his own use, which preserves many valuable works and includes instrumental pieces and sacred and secular works for several voices. He also completed the Sextus part-book of the Forrest-Heyther collection of Tudor Masses, and wrote out My Ladye Nevells Booke, a beautifully copied anthology of keyboard music by Byrd, dated 1591.
