William Turner (composer)
William Turner (born Oxford 1651; died London 13 January 1740) was a composer and singer in the Baroque period.  He lived at the same time as English composers such as Pelham Humfrey and Henry Purcell, although he lived a lot longer than they did.  He is remembered today as a composer of about 40 verse anthems.  As a singer, he was a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal from 1669 until his death.
