Portrait of Orlando Gibbons

Organist of the Chapel Royal from 1603 and of Westminster Abbey from 1623, Orlando Gibbons was one of the last masters of the English virginalist school and appears, with Byrd and Bull, in "Parthenia", the first printed collection of English keyboard music. His forty or so keyboard pieces, chiefly fantasias and dances, show a great command of counterpoint.
