Orlando Gibbons was one of the greatest and most important English
composers of the late Renaissance.  His keyboard music can be seen as the 
culmination of three generations of English keyboard music, dating back to
Bull and Byrd.
	"The Pavane and Galliard Lord Salisbury" is one of the best examples 
of the triple-section pavane and galliard, in which a different thought is
developed in each section.  Quoting the Historical Anthology of Music, ed.
Archibald T. Davison and Willi Appel:
	"Gibbons as an instrumental composer is is a typical example of 
	a 'late' master whose fin-de-siecle personality exudes the 
	fascination of an approaching decadence, but whose creative
	power is still unbroken.  The pavane which he wrote for the 
	Lord of Salisbury is a masterpiece whose utter refinement and
	transcendental spirituality recall the late sonatas of 
	Beethoven."
