BENNET, John

His madrigals are finely studied, and abound with all the graces and elegance of vocal harmony. Bennet was one of the ornaments of the Madrigalean period, and will doubtless descend to posterity bearing a name for fine, melodious writing. Nothing as to his biography appears to have been chronicled. His book of madrigals was re-published in 1845 by the Musical Antiquarian Society.
