Michael East

Michael East (ca. 1580–1648) was an English organist and composer. He was a nephew of London music publisher Thomas East.

In 1601, East wrote a madrigal that was accepted by Thomas Morley for publication in his collection The Triumphs of Oriana. In 1606, he received a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Cambridge and in 1609 he joined the choir of Ely Cathedral as a lay clerk. By 1618 he was employed by Lichfield Cathedral, where he worked as a choirmaster, probably until 1644, when the Civil War brought an end to sung services.
Elias Ashmole was a chorister at Lichfield, and later recalled that “Mr Michael East was my tutor for song and Mr Henry Hinde, organist of the Cathedral, taught me on the virginals and organ”.
