Organ Music: Five Fancies by Orlando Gibbons

For the next several uploads, I embark now on a musicology project that explores very early keyboard music which can be played on both organ and harpsichord. This upload contains the first five fancies published in “Orlando Gibbons Complete Keyboard Works in 5 Volumes” (linked here: https://s9.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/0/0b/IMSLP17609-Keyboard_Works_IV.pdf) played on the Evensong sampled portative: https://www.evensongmusic.net/?product=2002-bennet-giuttari-portativ

The publication was meant for both organists and keyboardists, even going so far as to explain that pedaling is warranted if playing the works on the piano! The editor, Margaret Glyn, states that the terms fancy, voluntary, fantasia, prelude, etc. are all virtually interchangeable. However, Willi Apel notes that two of Gibbons’ fantasies should perhaps be classed as voluntaries because of their brevity. So there seem to be some differences associated with the genres depending on who is doing the publishing.

Of note, Apel also says that Gibbons’ fantasies are markedly different from those of Byrd and Farnaby. While these two utilize change and contrast, Gibbons emphasizes unity. There are no dance-like, song-like, playful, and virtuosic features. Rather he takes a moderate approach and has a refinement in taste. Additionally, Gibbons leads the musical material in almost every fantasy to a climax just before the end by setting his lines into a slow but decisive ascending motion, mostly in sequential phrases. Apel finishes with this sweeping compliment: “He is perhaps the first to understand the intrinsic dynamics of a musical idea. In the field of keyboard music he certainly had no predecessor in this respect, and, for a long time, no successor.”

Which do you prefer? Organ or harpsichord?
