He was a chorister at King's College, Cambridge, and later became a gentleman of the Chapel Royal, which he served as an organist and to which he later added the position of organist at Westminster Abbey. He wrote forty anthems including the well-known This is the record of John - here sung by the brilliant young countertenor Robin Blaze - and is still regarded as one the of the great masters of the 'verse' anthem. A good example of a 'verse' anthem is Hosanna to the son of David where solos for one or more voices are repeated and reinforced with short choral passages. The 'full' anthem on the other hand does not use solo voices, as illustrated by the eight-voiced O clap your hands.'Sung with sensitivity and vigour. Vocal ranges are perfectly suited to Robin Blaze and Stephen Varcoe. Dovetailing between the solo and vocal sections is beautifully managed throughout, the countertenor quiet outstanding' (Gramophone) 'An essential addition to any collection of English church music.' (International Record Review) 'The choral sound is exemplary – clean, but edged with an appealing English softness ... a glorious sound.' (BBC Music Magazine)'Hill breathes new life into Gibbons' musical and spoken rhetoric, using tempo and dynamics to set up conflicts between vocal lines. Perfectly complemented by Robin Blaze' (BBC Music Magazine)'This recording is a well-balanced introduction to Gibbons' obvious musical talent' (Scotland on Sunday) Sample Utwory 1 Hosanna to the Son of David [2'44] >>> Posłuchaj fragmentu <<< 2 Sing unto the Lord [5'55] >>> Posłuchaj fragmentu <<< Robin Blaze (countertenor), Stephen Varcoe (baritone), Stephen Farr (organ), Donald Sweeney (bass), Nicholas Pepin (countertenor) 3 This is the record of John [4'18] >>> Posłuchaj fragmentu <<< Robin Blaze (countertenor), Sarah Baldock (organ) 4 If ye be risen again with Christ [4'47] English Stephen Farr (organ), Harry Oulton (treble), Benjamin Walton (treble), Richard Childress (countertenor) 5 O Lord, in thy wrath rebuke me not [3'50] EnglishSecond Service 6 Evening Canticle 1: Magnificat 'My soul doth magnify the Lord' [6'10] English Stephen Farr (organ) 7 Evening Canticle 2: Nunc dimittis 'Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peac e' [3'22] English Stephen Farr (organ) 8 Behold, thou hast made my days [4'33] English Robin Blaze (countertenor), Sarah Baldock (organ) 9 O God, the King of Glory [4'13] English Stephen Farr (organ) 10 Glorious and powerful God [5'10] English Robin Blaze (countertenor), Stephen Varcoe (baritone), Stephen Farr (organ) 11 Fantasia in A minor [5'07] Stephen Farr (organ) 12 O clap your hands [5'32] English13 Thou God of wisdom [5'49] English Stephen Farr (organ), Jack Standen (treble), Benjamin Walton (treble) 14 Blessed are all they that fear the Lord [4'42] English Stephen Farr (organ), Robin Blaze (countertenor) 15 Great king of gods [4'43] English Stephen Farr (organ), Donald Sweeney (bass), Nicholas Pepin (countertenor), Thomas King (countertenor) Wykonawcy Winchester Cathedral Choir, David Hill (conductor) © Produkt oryginalny
