In 1685 he was appointed a private musician to James II. In 1687 he became Choirmaster at St. Paul's Cathedral, and in 1699 he was appointed Composer to the Chapel Royal. His Venus and Adonis is the earliest known English opera, written for the Court of King James II. He wrote anthems for the coronations of King James II, King William III and Queen Anne, together with many odes, songs, sacred and instrumental works.
