The best you can do is listen to the album "A Consorte Of Musicke" and watch the performance and short commentary included in Monsaingeon's quartet of documentaries now known as "The Alchemist" in which Gould does his 'fin de siecle' spiel for the 10th time. </font><font style="font-size:16pt" size="4">Why Gould didn't record more of Gibbons is a question only Gould can answer, Gibbons having written much more for the keyboard and the 'Early Music' movement having already begun (as if that would matter?)... <br>

<div class="h5"><br><br>Hi there,<div><br></div><div>I am very interested in Glenn's favorite composer, Orlando Gibbons. He claimed he was his favorite, but I cannot find much about his relationship with the composer and his music. I know there is an essay in the Glenn Gould Reader compilation, but it is quite short. Glenn only mentions him here and there in interviews, but does not elaborate upon his interest. Are there any other sources or explanations about Glenn and his fascination with Gibbons's music? Or any other essays? I do of course, have the Byrd and Gibbons album, which is absolutely charming...but there must be more than this somewhere! Also, if you have not read about Orland Gibbons's life, it is quite interesting, especially the manner in which he died. The writeup on Wikipedia is really uncanny. </div>
