(ernst stolz on viola da gamba)
Jenkins was an English composer, born in Kent, and died at Norfolk. Little is known of his early life. His father was a carpenter who made musical instruments. Jenkins performed the Masque The Triumph of Peace in 1634 at the court of King Charles I.
He was employed as music-master to two Royalist families, the Derhams at West Derham and Harmon L'Estrange of Hunstanton.

In the 1650s Jenkins became resident music-master of Lord Dudley North. Jenkins wrote more than 70 suites. He was a virtuoso upon the lyra viol and played also lute. After the Restoration he was musician to the Royal Court.

Jenkins was a long-active and prolific composer whose many years of life, (from the time from William Byrd to Purcell) Jenkins's music was a bit conservative compared to many of his contemporaries.
It is characterised by a sensuous lyricism, highly skilled craftsmanship, and an original usage of tonality and counterpoint.
