The Gibbons Hymnal contains the 17 hymn tunes composed by Orlando Gibbons for George Wither’s The Hymnes and Songs of the Church (1623) many of which are still popular today. This is the first modern edition which incorporates Wither’s hymn texts beyond the first verses.Gibbons composed treble and bass lines for the hymns; editor David Skinner has constructed the inner voices to create a collection of pieces that can be performed either as hymns or as simple anthems.Also in this volume are Gibbons’s ten surviving full anthems including popular works such as Almighty And Everlasting God and his masterpiece O Clap YourHands alongside lesser-known compositions such as the beautiful miniature O Lord I Lift My Heart To Thee and presented here in a new reconstruction I Am The Resurrection And The Life.In the January 2015 edition of the Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians Jason Overall writes about this 'superlative collection' that it 'provides a valuable resource for choirs.'

Orlando Gibbons was a master of the verse anthem during the English renaissance. Here David Giardiniere gives us a practical edition of the outstanding work. Try it during Advent or for Christmas.

An Anglican verse anthem by the talented chorister and composer Orlando Gibbons based on text from John Chapter 1 Verses 19-23. Composed For SAATB and organ accompaniment.

Composer Orlando Gibbons was the leading English composer of his time the late 16th and early 17th century. This five-Voice SSATB madrigal is the best known of his many madrigals and remains compellingly beautiful.The sheet music also includes A Catch on Tobacco by theologian philosopher and composer Dr Henry Aldrich. It dates from 1685 when the composer was Dean of Christ Church Oxford and widely known among his contemporaries as a convivial soul who among his writings created a Latin epigramme listing five reasons for drinking. The performance notes stipulate that the round is to be sung by four men while smoking their pipes.

This Renaissance verse anthem alternates passages of two solo Voices with Choral sections is a testament to his mastery of this form.Organist Keyboard player and composer Orlando Gibbons was not only a composer of beautiful music.

Nico Muhly's My Days for ATTB choir and five Viola Da Gambas. Parts for five Viols.This 16 minute piece of sheet music was commissioned by Wigmore Hall and the world première was performed by Fretwork and Hilliard Ensemble at Wigmore Hall October 2 2012.'My Days is a ritualised memory piece about Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) written for two ensembles whose recordings informed so much of my musical development. I feel like I spend half of my life trying to trick string players to play like Fretwork and vocalists to singlike the Hilliard Ensemble so it was with enormous pleasure that I composed this piece. The text isderived from Psalm 39 which Gibbons himself set as well as an account of Gibbons's own autopsy which is a poignant 17th century semi-anonymous text. One of the most thrilling things about the sound of five violas da gamba playing together is the sense of their phrasing being derived from vocal music but made somehow electric and ecstatic through ornamentation and the friction of the strings. The piece has an idée fixe based on a minor scale with two possible resolutions and many ornaments. In between iterations the voices in rhythmic unison intone the psalm. It isn't until the autopsy text arrives that the voices begin to split into more elaborate ?Gibbonsy? verses and responses. A series of semiimprovisedfragments on the text 'Take thy plague away from me' introduces the third section of the piece where plucked strings create a halo around the text 'hear my prayer OLord.' The piece ends with the ornaments wildly exploded over the voices singing two words endlessly repeated.' - Nico Muhly

Twelve pieces by John Bull Giles and Richard Farnaby Orlando Gibbons Leonhard Woodson and others are here collected to make an attractive anthology of English keyboard music found in the precious Lynar A manuscripts which also contain primary sources for the keyboard music of Sweelinck Peter Philips and Tarquinio Merula.

Bob Chilcott's Silver Swan for SATB double choir unaccompanied. This setting of Orlando Gibbons and Catullus is a re-working of Gibbons's celebrated 17th-century madrigal (of the same title) for five voices. It retains the lilting depiction of the swan and the original composer's love of antiphonal effects and rich texture providing an ideal platform for established choirs to explore tone blend and musical imagery.

An Anthology-All eighteen pieces in this collection are reliably dated to the reign of James I and whether by named composers or anonymous ones appear in sources other than the notable Virginal books preserved in the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge. The contents demonstrate the variety of forms in the Keyboard repertoire of this period from plainsong-based compositions to dances by Orlando Gibbons. The 'Pretty ways for young beginners to look on' possibly by Thomas Tomkins are a fascinating example of music contemporary to the time written with the didactic purpose of instructing musicians in the techniques of counterpoint.
