Life

Simpson was regarded during his lifetime rather than gamba virtuoso, composer than as high. He wrote several collections of " divisions " for Diskantinstrument, two bass viols and basso continuo, as well as a collection of " 22 Airs " for two treble instruments, bass and basso continuo in the form of trio sonatas.
