Nicholas Staggins
Nicholas Staggins (died 13 June 1700〔(Philip H. Highfill, Kalman A. Burnim, Edward A. Langhans, ''A Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Volume 14, S. Siddons to Thynne'' )〕) was an English composer.
Staggins first studied music under his father. He was made Master of the King's Music by Charles II in 1674. In 1682, he was granted a musical doctorate by Cambridge University, and from 1684 until his death was Professor of Music at Cambridge.〔 Slightly different dates are given in ''A Biographical Dictionary of English Court Musicians, 1485 - 1714.''〕 Following his death on the night of 12–13 June 1700, he was succeeded by John Eccles.
From the few fragments of his compositions that survive, his musical ability is generally regarded to have been but slender. His most significant work was his music for John Crowne's masque ''Calisto, or The Chaste Nymph''. His other works included odes for the birthdays of William III (in at least 1693, 1694 and 1696). He also wrote incidental music for John Dryden's ''Conquest of Granada'' and ''Marriage à la Mode'', George Etheridge's ''The Man of Mode'', Nathaniel Lee's ''Gloriana'', and Thomas Shadwell's ''Epsom Wells''.
In Tom Brown's ''Letters from the Dead to the Living,'' Staggins is described as 'bandy legged and contemptuously regarded'. Following his death he was buried in Woollon on 16 June 1700 at St. George's Chapel, Windsor.〔Narcissus Luttrell 'A Brief Relation of State Affairs'〕
