He sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal and went on to a distinguished career at Westminster Abbey and in the court of Charles II. With this showcase programme of motets, anthems, fantasias for strings, and organ voluntaries (all of which are receiving their first recording), Richard Egarr, the Academy of Ancient Music and the Choir of the AAM, aim to rescue the composer from unjust obscurity.
　　This is Christopher Gibbons (1615-1676), eldest surviving son of Orlando, one of the greatest late-Tudor composers, who died suddenly when his son was 10. Christopher sang in the choirs of the Chapel Royal and Westminster Abbey, then became organist at Winchester Cathedral before civil war and its aftermath brought his career as a church musician to a halt for almost 20 years. Unlike most Royalist musicians, he remained in Britain, teaching and composing incidental music for the theatre, including a collaboration with Matthew Locke on the masque Cupid and Death. When the monarchy was restored in 1660, Charles II rewarded Gibbons for his loyalty by appointing him organist of the Chapel Royal, as his father had been 40 years earlier.
　　Yet Christopher's music is little known now. These pieces have been extracted by Richard Egarr from libraries in Oxford and London, and none has been recorded before. Egarr describes him as the "missing link between the pre-Commonwealth world of Williams Lawes and the Restoration baroquerie of Henry Purcell", and the beautifully played and sung sequence he has devised for the Academy of Ancient Music and its Choir alternates anthems and motets with organ voluntaries (performed by Egarr) and fantasias for two violins, bass viol and organ. The instrumental pieces are wonderfully imaginative, but it's the choral works that stand out with their startling modulations and expressively charged vocal lines. The finest of them starts the disc: the eight-part Not Unto Us, with its building layers of counterpoint, seems to open out into a musical space so vast it's hard to believe the whole anthem lasts fewer than five minutes.
