Daniel Bacheler  was an English lutenist and composer. Bacheler’s compositions date from 1588 and the style of some of his lute solos suggests that he was still composing in the last years of his life.

More than 50 lute solos survive, in manuscript form. Some of his pieces require considerable technical skill, and he was one of the first lutenists to explore the lower sonorities of the instrument, occasionally taking a melody down to the fourth and fifth courses. He was probably the first English lutenist to play unmeasured preludes. His best known composition is probably his version of Monsieur’s Almain.
