A Music Strange
English 17th Century spiritual music by Gibbons, Weelkes, Tomkins, Jeffreys
Orlando Gibbons 1583-1625
The English Church under James 1 and Charles I was blessed with composers
of great individuality and inventiveness. Tomkins, Weelkes and Gibbons maintain their place in the liturgy today, while the works of Jeffreys open
an unusual window on
17th-century spirituality.
