  John Merbecke (c 1505 - c 1585) is the composer of the first musical setting of the English liturgy, The booke of Common Praier Noted . Situating Merbecke's work within a broader intellectual and religio-cultural context of Tudor England, this book challenges the studies of Merbecke based on the narrow theological approach to the Reformation.
