If the King's Musick is the troupe of 24 violins, two sentences might be profitably combined, to spare needless ambiguity. Similarly, "duties at the Chapel Royal" are among "demands at the court": there's no "juggling".--Wetman (talk) 11:53, 13 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
Good points. From what I gather, the troupe was part of the King's Musick (which is a more generic umbrella for all of the musicians serving the court). What I meant by the juggling is his demands with the King's Musick (composing, performing) with his chapel duties; bad wording with "at the court" on my part. Do my changes improve things?
