Date of death

[edit]

We give his date of burial as 1 December, with no date of death. Grove V says he died on 30 November. They explain that his will was made on 30 November and he was buried on 1 December, and that "these facts point to his having died on 30 November". It would be most unusual to be buried on the very day of death, and he couldn't have died earlier than 30 November, so I agree with Grove that he must have died on 30 November. -- JackofOz (talk) 00:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Compositions

[edit]

The separate article List of compositions by Thomas Weelkes has apparently been deleted. Fair enough. But that leaves us with nothing at all of his compositions in this article, despite Weelkes' importance both in his own time and today; many of his works are still part of the standard repertoire in church choirs and madrigal groups. Does anyone know how to retrieve the deleted article & incorporate at least some of Weelkes' best known works in this article? --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 07:11, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
