“Praises, Tears, and Cries”: the sound-world of Orlando Gibbons

The Sarum Consort and The Rose Consort of Viols join forces for this fascinating programme exploring the Jacobean sound-world of Orlando Gibbons and his contemporaries. Gibbons, who died 400 years ago this year, led a generation of English composers who explored sounds and textures in music in new ways. From the expansive to the intimate, the energetic to the elegant, this music captivates, surprises, and delights.
