teacher of his four sons. In 1608, when the sons were at University, Youll
dedicated his only known publication
‘Canzonets to Three Voycees: newly composed by Henry Youll, Practictioner in
the Art of Music’, to them. ‘The work, in three books, consisted of twenty four
compositions of which the last six are fa-las. It is written for cantus, altus
and bassus using the alto and tenor clefs’. A copy of the music is in the
British Museum. (p.356)
