Matériel : Vocal Score
(Collection)-The choral music of Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) is unusual among his Tudor contemporaries for being all in English (as far as we know) and is of the very highest quality. This collection provides an excellent value and includes five examples of the work of this rare genius: Almighty and everlasting God; Drop drop slow tears; Hosanna to the Son of David; Lift up your heads; O Clap Your Hands.

Gibb ons seems to have been outside the process 'by which', wrote Joseph Kerman in The Elizabethan Madrigal, 'England first became sophisticated in the ways of Continental music.' These 20 pieces certainly, if differently, follow the pure line of William Byrd and are still of the old 'English' school. They include The Silver Swan and Dainty Fine Bird.
