	St John the Baptist CANTORIS CRCD6080 [JQ]: Classical CD Reviews- January 2006 MusicWeb-International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It’s an interesting idea for the choir of St. John’s College, Oxford to present a CD of music inspired by the patron saint of the college.
		Gibbons’ justly celebrated anthem This is the record of John, which is well done here, featuring a fine, clear tenor solo from William Unwin, was written in 1620 for William Laud, the future Archbishop of Canterbury, who was President of St. John’s 1611-21.
		I thought this was an impressive piece by a composer with a distinctive voice and a genuine feeling for choral writing.
