Overview

Fretwork and an ace vocal ensemble celebrate Orlando Gibbons, who died on this day 400 years ago. They explore the inventive genius of his consort music, madrigals and salty The Cries of London, and Nico Muhly’s My Days, a ‘ritualised memory piece’ in honour of Gibbons, a blend of Psalm 39 and words from the composer’s autopsy.
