Psalm 47 - O clap your hands

Orlando Gibbons (baptised 25 December 1583 – 5 June 1625) was an English composer and keyboard player who was one of the last masters of the English Virginalist School and English Madrigal School. The best known member of a musical family dynasty, by the 1610s he was the leading composer and organist in England, with a career cut short by his sudden death in 1625. As a result, Gibbon's oeuvre was not as large as that of his contemporaries, like the elder William Byrd but he made considerable contributions to many genres of his time. He is often seen as a transitional figure from the Renaissance  to the Baroque periods.

Alex Ayre was a British recorder teacher and performer who arranged over 500 pieces, of mainly English Renaissance and Baroque music, for recorder ensembles.
