A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Loosemore, Henry
LOOSEMORE, Henry, Mus. Bac., was a chorister in one of the Cambridge colleges, afterwards lay clerk there, and organist of King's College. He graduated at Cambridge in 1640. In 1660 he was appointed organist of Exeter Cathedral. A service and anthems [App. p.705 "an anthem"] by him are in the Tudway collection (Harl. MSS. 7337, 7338) and at Ely, and two Latin litanies (in D minor and G minor) are printed in Jebb's 'Choral Responses and Litanies.' He died in 1667 [App. p.705 "after Michaelmas 1670"].
His son, George, Mus. Doc., was a chorister of King's College, Cambridge, under his father, and in 1660 became organist of Trinity College. He took his Doctor's degree at Cambridge in 1665. Anthems by him are in the Tudway collection (Harl. MS. 7339) and at Ely Cathedral.
Another son, John, built the organ of Exeter Cathedral in 1665, and died 1681. Parts of his work still remain in that organ.[ W. H. H. ]
