A celebration of the music of Orlando Gibbons 1583-1625
Saturday 1 November, 7:30pm
Church of St Peter and St Paul, Deddington, OX15 0SA
Conductor George Parris with the Chelys Consort of Viols, and Edward Woodhouse, tenor
A programme marking the 400th anniversary of the English Renaissance composer Orlando Gibbons, with some of his most exquisite music for voices and viols. The programme will feature verse anthems and instrumental fantasias alongside works from other English composers.
The five members of Chelys are among the UK’s leading exponents of the viol, particularly as a consort instrument, and their consort viols are strung entirely in gut, which lends them a particularly distinctive sound. They frequently collaborate with other period instrumentalists and singers, especially enjoying repertoire for voices and viols.
