Product Description
A study of the life and music of Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625). It investigates in detail the family and musical background from which Orlando Gibbons emerged, and provides an account of the activities of his father, William Gibbons. It traces, too, the activities of Orlando's brothers - Edward, Ferdinando and Ellis. Since Edward Gibbons achieved a degree of eminence, the description of his life and music is quite full. Attention naturally focuses principally on Orlando Gibbons. A full record is given of his remarkably youthful appointment as an organist of the Chapel Royal (he was probably less than 20 at the time) and of his life at court. His additional appointments as one of Prince Charles's musicians and as organist of Westminster Abbey are also described, as is his sudden and premature death in his early forties. Gibbons's music is examined in a series of chapters dealing with his pieces for keyboard and for viols, his songs, his full and verse anthems, and his works for the Anglican liturgy. His development as a composer within these genres is followed, and the character of particular pieces is considered. ... Read more

Only a few books give this sort of detail - and none are as thorough as Harley's. Back in the 1990s he devoted a great deal of time in research into one of the world's most neglected musical geniuses and followed up the biographical details with a careful analysis of the music, historical context and family heritage. The style is dry but not excessively so - and there is much to assist the academic and general reader. If you respect Gibbons and have read Le Huray and Wulstan then this work is a 'must' buy. Highly recommended. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Orlando Gibbons," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Orlando Gibbons in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Orlando Gibbons when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Orlando Gibbons, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Peter Philips (ou Philipps), né entre le 5 août 1560 et le 4 août 1561, probablement à Londres, et décédé à Bruxelles en 1628, est un prêtre catholique, compositeur, claviériste, virginaliste et organiste anglais. Sa première composition connue, une Pavana pour clavier datée de 1580 (vraisemblablement la seule qu'il composa sur son sol natal), fut extrêmement populaire, notamment grâce aux arrangements que d'autres musiciens en firent, parmi lesquels Morley, Dowland et Sweelinck. Au début du mois d'août 1582, Philips fuit l'Angleterre « pour la foy catholique ». Il arrive en octobre à Rome où il est accueilli au Collège anglais. Après quelques jours de repos, Philips est engagé par le cardinal Alexandre Farnèse au service duquel il reste durant trois années. Dans le même temps, Philips preste comme organiste au Collège. Il fait la connaissance de Palestrina. Au mois de février 1585, Lord Thomas Paget, célèbre aristocrate anglais, catholique romain réfugié lui aussi, arrive au Collège. Philips entre à son service, et part avec lui en mars; ils voyagent durant cinq années, visitant successivement Gênes en septembre 1585, Madrid en octobre de la même année, et la France en septembre 1586. Ils passent l'année 1587 et la première moitié de l'année suivante à Paris, à part un bref séjour à Bruxelles au mois de mars 1588. Au mois de juin 1588, Paget et Philips arrivent à Anvers, et en février 1589, ils s'installent à Bruxelles. Lord Paget meurt un an plus tard ; Philips s'installe alors à Anvers. À cette époque, il gagnai...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
