oxford, Eng, Aug. 15-(A. p. by
Mail) - Tercentennary of Orlando
Gibbons, one of the most famous of

revived the old claims which both OK

tive town.
1t has long been known that Glib
bons became a chorister at Kings
Chapel. Cambridge, at the age of ~,
and that Cambridge gave him a de-
gree in music when, at the age of Fl.
he became organist to the Chapel
Royal. and these facts were taken as
disproving the oxford claim. BY ac-
cident a chance searcher in the rec
crds of the City Church of Oxford
Orlando Gibbons under date of De-
cember 25, 1888, and as the name is
no usual one it seems certain that
the entry refers to the great church
composer.
In his own time Gibbons was
known more as an organist than as a
composer, for he had the best hand
in England" His compositions are
few, but they are declared unsur-
passed in dignity. propriety and
beauty His anthems. ooh, Clap
Your Hands "Hosanna" and AL
mighty and Everlasting" and his
madrigals, THE Silver Swan" and
"Oh. That the Learned Poets" are
regarded the high points of the an
cient, simple and musical art of Eng
land.
