William Corkine

William Corkine has been played on NTS shows including Le Jardin w/ Sarah Davachi, with The Secund Tuning first played on 16 December 2024.

William Corkine (fl. 1610-1617) was an English composer, lutenist, gambist, and lyra viol player of the Renaissance.

Corkine was in private service in the second decade of the seventeenth century, before travelling to Poland in 1617. He published a first book of Ayres to Sing and Play to the Lute and Basse-Viollin in 1610, and in 1612 a Second Booke of Ayres, some to sing and play to the Basse-Violl alone: others to be sung to the Lute and Bass Viollin. The first book has the more charming songs. The second is notable in that thirteen of the songs are without tablature accompaniment or alternative partsong versions, but are instead marked to be sung "to the Base-Violl alone".
