New College Choir Oxford - Edward Higginbottom (Dir // Locke was born in 1621 or 1622, in Devon, and received his musical training at Exeter cathedral, where he was a chorister. Not much is known of his career during the Civil War. He was certainly in the Netherlands in 1648, when he copied a collection of Italian motets, and he had probably returned to England by 1651, when he composed his earliest collection of consort music, The Little Consort, for a friend in Exeter.
