About "Gibbons: O All True Faithful Hearts" by James O'Donnell
Orlando Gibbons' anthem 'O All True Faithful Hearts' is a jewel of Jacobean polyphony. The voices intertwine with intricate, gentle counterpoint, like threads in a royal tapestry. The mood is one of restrained exaltation—a quiet, confident faith that feels both intimate and ceremonial, glowing with the warmth of candlelight.
