Matthew Locke (1621 or 2-1677) was a composer. In 1653, he collaborated with Christopher Gibbons to write the opera Cupid and Death; he was also known for his instrumental and keyboard music, as well as for having written part of the music for the now-lost early English opera The Siege of Rhodes, by William Davenant. In 1673 he published Melothesia, his treatise on music theory. Its title page describes him as "Composer in Ordinary to His Majesty, and organist of her Majesty's chapel." Locke also served as King Charles II's Composer of the Wind Music and Composer for the Violins. He has been described as the mentor of Henry Purcell, who succeeded him as Composer in Ordinary to the king.
