  • Foreword Orlando Gibbons
    Foreword Orlando Gibbons (baptised 25 December 1583 – 5 June 1625) was a virginalist and organist of the late Tudor and early Jacobean periods. His Life Gibbons was born in 1583 (most likely in December) and baptised on Christmas Day at Oxford, where his father William Gibbons was working as a wait. Between 1596 and 1598 he sang in the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, where his brother Edward Gibbons (1568–1650), eldest of the four sons of William Gibbons, was master of the choristers. The second brother Ellis Gibbons (1573–1603) was also a promising composer, but died young. Orlando entered the university as a sizar in 1598 and achieved the degree of Bachelor of Music in 1606. That same year he married Elizabeth Patten, daughter of a Yeoman of the Vestry, and they went on to have seven children (Gibbons himself was the seventh of 10 children). King James I appointed him a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal, where he served as an organist from at least 1615 until his death. In 1623 he became senior organist at the Chapel Royal, with Thomas Tomkins as junior organist. He also held positions as keyboard player in the privy chamber of the court of Prince Charles (later King Charles I), and organist at Westminster Abbey. He died at age 41 in Canterbury of apoplexy, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral. His death was a shock to his peers and brought about a post-mortem, though the cause of death aroused less comment than the haste of his burial and his body not being returned to London.

Brauner Thomas Weelkes in considered among the most important of the English madrigalists of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries; however, little has been written about him. Modern scholarship begins with Edmund H. Fellowes’s edition of Weelkes’s madrigal publications. The only comprehensive study of Weelkes’s life and works is David Brown’s 1969 Thomas Weelkes: A Biographical and Critical Study. Most other Weelkes scholarship simply compares his music to that of his contemporaries. This thesis fills another gap in Weelkes studies by offering an analysis of his 1600 collection, Madrigals of 5 and 6 Parts, Apt for the Viols and Voices.

  • Fall 2010 Collegium Program Notes
    Program Notes It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to tonight’s celebration of music’s patron saint, Cecilia, on November 22, her name day. As international as FIU’s middle name, this concert is a French and English tribute to a 5th-century Italian martyr. Our program praises noble women: Susanne, the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Machaut Messe and Charpentier Noëls, Queen Elizabeth in the English Madrigals, and Cecilia herself in Purcell’s Welcome To All The Pleasures. Throughout the concert, we will be displaying a slideshow that presents images related to Cecilia, her shrine in Rome, and the music we will be performing. Tonight we introduce the versatile and lovely chamber continuo organ commissioned for us with funds provided by Herbert and Nicole Wertheim. This evening also marks the first performance on viols from Collegium’s most recent donation, the McClure Collection of Student Viols. Renaissance music abounds in settings by different composers of popular tunes: “L’Homme Armé,” “Lachryme,” Douce Memoire,” and many others, including “Susanne un jour,” first known in the 4-part setting by Didier Lupi II of a text by Guilliaume Gueroult published in 1548. In tonight’s program we hear just a few of the more than 30 versions of this melody and text: a solo song in French; an ornamented lute dance; the dance arranged for 5 instruments plus lute; an instrumental version of a madrigal setting by Lasso—who also wrote an entire 6-part Mass based on the tune; and an English part-song by William Byrd for soprano voice and four viols.
