Hugh Facy


Hugh Facy, was an English composer from the Renaissance. He composed largely choral or keyboard pieces.

Life

Facy acted as an assistant to John Lugge, the organist at Exeter Cathedral and a secondary chorister. He possibly traveled abroad after his term at Exeter.

Music and influence
