Orlando Gibbons: Keyboard Works

To mark the 400th anniversary of Orlando Gibbons’s death, organist and harpsichordist Stephen Farr presents a stunning tribute to one of England’s greatest composers of the early seventeenth century. Gibbons, who served at the Chapel Royal and Westminster Abbey, was celebrated for his virtuosity and innovation, bridging the Renaissance and Baroque eras. This album explores the full breadth of his keyboard oeuvre, from intricate fantasias and evocative pavans to lively dances and variation sets. The album includes the Fantasia for Double Organ, showcasing Gibbons’s mastery of contrapuntal invention, and the poignant Pavan and Galliard Lord Salisbury, composed in honour of the composer’s noble patron. Farr’s insightful interpretations reveal the expressive depth and technical brilliance of Gibbons’s music. A compelling homage, this recording underscores Gibbons’s lasting influence on English keyboard music.
