Orlando Gibbons was one of the most brilliant and imaginative composers this country has ever produced. He is beloved by jazz musicians such as Glenn Gould for his inventive and unpredictable genius. In this lecture Patrick traces his career at Westminster Abbey, looking at his predecessors who shaped his education, and looking ahead to some of the great musicians who followed him there including Pelham Humfrey, Henry Purcell and his own son Christopher Gibbons.
