church See also:music, flourished during the 16th See also:century. Very little is known about him. See also:Fetis gives 1530 as the date of his See also:birth, but on what authority does not appear. He became a See also:gentleman of the See also:Chapel Royal in the reign of See also:Edward VI., but resigned his See also:post in 1564 on being appointed See also:master of the See also:children of St See also:George's chapel, See also:Windsor. In this capacity he presented a See also:play before the See also:queen at Shrovetide 1568, and again at See also:Christmas of the same See also:year, receiving on each occasion the sum of 6: 13: 4d. In See also:November 1569 he was reinstated as gentleman of the Chapel Royal. It is stated by See also:Hawkins (See also:History of Music, vol. iii. 279) that Farrant was also one of the clerks and organists of St George's chapel, Windsor, and that he retained these posts till his See also:death. Many of his compositions are printed in the collections of See also:Barnard and See also:Boyce. Among the most admired of them are a service in G See also:minor, and the anthems " See also:Call to remembrance " and " Hide not See also:thou thy See also:face." It is doubtful whether Farrant is entitled to the See also:credit of the authorship of the beautiful See also:anthem " See also:Lord, for thy See also:tender mercies' See also:sake." No copy of the music under his name appeared in See also:print till 1800, although it had been earlier attributed to him.

Thomas See also:Tallis, as the composer. From entries in the Old Check See also:Book of the Chapel Royal (edited for the See also:Camden Society by Dr Rimbault) it appears that Farrant died, not in 1585, as Hawkins states, but on the 30th of November 1580 or 1581.
