Thomas Campion (sometimes Campian) (12 February 1567 – 1 March 1620) was an English composer, poet, and physician. He wrote over a hundred lute songs, masques for dancing, and an authoritative technical treatise on music. ==Life== Campion was born in London, the son of John Campion, a clerk of the Court of Chancery, and Lucy (née Searle – daughter of Laurence Searle, one of the queen's serjeants-at-arms). Upon the death of Campion's father in 1576, his mother married Augustine Steward, dying soon afterwards. His stepfather assumed charge of the boy and sent him, in 1581, to study at Peterhouse, Cambridge as a "gentleman pensioner"; he left the university after four years without taking a degree.〔.〕〔He is not listed in Venn, ''Alumni Cantabrigienses''.〕 He later entered Gray's Inn to study law in 1586. However, he left in 1595 without having been called to the bar. On 10 February 1605, he received his medical degree from the University of Caen.〔Christopher R. Wilson. "Thomas Campion", ''Grove Music Online'', ed. L. Macy (accessed 4 March 2006), (grovemusic.com ) (subscription access).〕 Campion is thought to have lived in London, practising as a physician, until his death in March 1620 – possibly of the plague.〔(Life of Thomas Campion ) (Luminarium: Anthology of English literature).〕 He was apparently unmarried and had no children. He was buried the same day at St Dunstan-in-the-West in Fleet Street.〔 He was implicated in the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury, but was eventually exonerated, as it was found that he had ''unwittingly'' delivered the bribe that had procured Overbury's death.〔(Thomas Campion ) (UXL encyclopedia of world biography, 2003).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Campion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
