Nathaniel Giles

Nathaniel Giles (1558  – 1633 or 1634) was an English Renaissance organist and composer. He was the organist for Worcester Cathedral and did Anglican anthems. While Master of the Children of the Chapel Royal^[1] he took over Blackfriars Theatre and there he worked with Ben Jonson on a children's company.^[2] He was also a master of the Choir of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle and an organist at Westminster Abbey.

His Te Deum (Durham Cathedral manuscript A2, folio 56) has instructions for the organist to play an octave lower than written, and one assumes^{[original research?]} this is to give the 'dark' sonority of a 10ft organ stop rather than the everyday colour of the standard 5ft Principal stop of the Tudor organ.
