Elway Bevin (c. 1554 – 1638)[1] was a Welsh-born organist and composer.
Briefly a vicar choral at Wells Cathedral, in 1585 he was appointed Master of the Choristers at Bristol Cathedral. He was sworn a gentleman-extraordinary of the Chapel Royal on 3 June 1605, and is said to have been a pupil of Thomas Tallis.
In 1631 Bevin published the work by which he is best known, 'A Briefe and Short Instruction of the Art of Musicke...'[2] and Benjamin Cosyn's 'Virginal Book' has a service by him included amongst six entitled 'These are ye Six Services for the King's Royall Chappell.'
