hall of the Company, and he seems to have been appointed one of the king's organists in that year. In the same year he resigned his Gresham professorship and married Elizabeth See also:Walter. In 1613 he again went to the See also:continent on See also:account of his See also:health, obtaining a See also:post as one of the organists in the See also:arch-See also:duke's chapel at See also:Brussels. In 1617 he was appointed organist to the cathedral of Notre See also:Dame at See also:Antwerp, and he died in that See also:city on the 12th or 13th of See also:March 1628. Little of his music has been published, and the opinions of critics differ much as to its merits (see Dr Willibald Nagel's Geschichte der Musik in England, ii. (1897), p. 155, &c.; and Dr Seiffert's Geschichte der Klaviermusik (1899), p. 54, &c.). Contemporary writers speak in the highest terms of Bull's skill as a performer on the See also:organ and the virginals, and there is no doubt that he contributed much to the development of See also:harpsichord music. See also:Jan Swielinck (15621621), the See also:great organist of See also:Amsterdam, did not regard his See also:work on composition as See also:complete without placing in it a See also:canon by John Bull, and the latter wrote a See also:fantasia upon a See also:fugue of Swielinck. For the ascription to Bull of the composition of the See also:British See also:national See also:anthem, see NATIONAL ANTHEMS. See also:Good See also:modern reprints, e.g. of the See also:Fitzwilliam See also:Virginal-See also:Book, " The King's See also:Hunting See also:Jig," and one or two other pieces, are in the repertories of modern pianists from See also:Rubinstein onwards.
