Composers through the centuries have been kept occupied in equal measure with the swan songs fairy tale: The otherwise mute swans only begin to sing in a strange yet beautiful fashion when face to face with death. Orlando Gibbons captures just this mysteriously dreamy tone in The Silver Swan. Surprising harmonic turns and seemingly endless intertwining melody lines make this choral piece a jewel of English madrigal artistry.
