Some Orlando Gibbons







Orlando Gibbons PDF scores on WIMA, only the Fantasia of the above is there, but in an arrangement for 6 viols, could be an interesting challenge to arrange for organ!

Very interesting and enjoyable selections Mike. Think I LIke the Byrd the Best.LIked the Tudor Organ too as I always found them interesting instrument.

Found another Tomkins piece, but played on harpsichord. Written about the time of the death of Charles II and the civil war.

Very nice Mike. I enjoy the crisp tones of the harpsichord almost as much as I enjoy the organ. Tomkins was indeed a great composer.

First heard it on Last.fm in an organ interpretation. From an Arkiv CD called "Vox Virginals" a mix of Elizabethan and Stuart period works on various keyboards, played by Rachelle Taylor, not a cheap one though.

I was pleasantly surprised at the number of Tomkins works available on Amazon including a lot of his madrigals and other vocal works.

[Dorsetmike]

Very delicate piece, anonymous, organ and viols



William Walond, the toccatta is quite lively!



A Walond voluntary, had to increase volume a bit on this one.

[Dorsetmike]

William Croft, Sarabande and Ground in C min; more usually played on a keyboard, but I thought this rendition to be beautiful.



A new one on me, Thomas Roseingrave Organ concerto in D major



William Russell, voluntary on an old organ in NSW, maybe David (CT64) knows it

[Dorsetmike]

Maurice Greene voluntary



Wilian Byrd, harpsichord



Any comments about including harpsichord items here in the organ area? Many of the works from Elizabethan and Baroque were written for either/both.

Thanks again for the added videos.Enjoyed. I do not recall ever playing any of these works. Organ Concerto in D reminds me of Handel works;liked the waloud toccata too.
