Program
William Byrd This day Christ was born
O God that guides the cheerful sun
Orlando Gibbons This is the record of John
See, see the Word is incarnate
John Bull Almighty God, who by the leading of a star
Thomas Weelkes Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Thomas Tomkins Behold, I bring you glad tidings

 

Performance of anthems with viols has been on our wish list for some years. Now that it is to become a reality it is impossible not to anticipate our Christmas to Candlemas season a bit in order to include that favourite Advent anthem, Gibbons’ This is the record of John. For that matter the other Gibbons piece, See, see the Word is incarnate also transcends the temporal limits, subsequently taking us through Passion, Resurrection and Ascension, but it begins with the Incarnation.

This is truly a rare opportunity to hear many of these works.
