Gibbons Music Draft[edit]
Music[edit]
Overview[edit]
One of the most versatile composers of his time, Gibbons' oeuvre includes a large number of keyboard works, around forty fantasias for viols, a set of 20 Madrigals, more than thirty verse and full anthems, various consort songs and psalms as well as two major settings of Evensong, the Short Service and the Second Service.[2] It is difficult to trace Gibbons' compositional progression since the dating of many of his works is speculative.[3] However, some works which are thought to be earlier, like Hosanna to the Son of David show considerable influence from Thomas Weelkes and especially Byrd.[4] Byrd's influence is certainly due to his reputable status as a composer, but may also be since Gibbons' probably sang many of his works during his time at Choir of King's College, Cambridge.[5] His mature works, especially keyboard, show some continued influence from Byrd and much influence from John Bull.[6]
As a result of his premature death, Gibbon's output as a whole was less than his contemporaries, such as the prolific William Byrd.[7] However, his instrumental music alone is notably more than most other composers of his time.[8]
Gibbons' early and unexpected death led to his total output being less than his contemporaries, like the prolific William Byrd.[7] However, his instrumental music alone is notably more than most of his contemporaries.[8]

Instrumental Music[edit]
One of the most versatile composers of his time, Gibbons wrote a large number of keyboard works, around thirty fantasias for viols, a set of 20 Madrigals, and many verse and full anthems. He also produced two major settings of Evensong, the Short Service and the Second Service, an extended composition combining verse and full sections.
Legacy[edit]
Historical Assessment?[edit]
Much of Gibbon's personal life revolved around uncertainty, as his birth place, marriage to Patten without birth record and doctor at Oxford.
In his time, Gibbons' was widely renowned for his skill on the keyboard and organ, having four positions that were associated with it. However, after his death he was largely remembered for his sacred vocal music with more than 30 17th century sources of his Short Service surviving.[9]
