Francis Pigott (composer)

Francis Pigott (dates of birth and death unknown) was an English composer of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He is primarily known for his contributions to stage music, particularly incidental music for plays. While biographical details are scarce, Pigott’s works demonstrate a competency in writing for diverse instrumental ensembles and vocal arrangements. Surviving scores suggest a style incorporating elements of both Italian and French baroque traditions, fashionable during his active period. Further research is needed to establish a more complete picture of his life and compositional output. Some sources indicate he may have been active as an organist, but concrete evidence of this remains elusive.
