Nicholas Gunn is an artist of incredible talent, who's music is stunningly beautiful in my opinion.
After years of buying Nicholas Gunn titles, this record at last gives a sense of departure from his previous releases.
Although this title is in keeping with his sound, this is the start of a new direction for Nicholas as he uses different instrumentation...

 Guardian | Sound and glory
His replacement was Staggins, the first professor of music at Cambridge, but not a composer of any great consequence.
And by staying in post for 26 years, he ruled out Henry Purcell - when Staggins was appointed, Purcell was only 15, and when Staggins's reign ended in 1700, Purcell was five years dead.
The period that started with Eccles was a golden age by the often mediocre standards of the mastership.

 Anna Starr - Oboes
Robert Cambert’s opera Pomone (1671) is often quoted as the first use of the oboe as an orchestral instrument.
In 1674, when Cambert travelled to England to supervise a production of the masque Calisto by John Crowe and Nicholas Staggins, he took with him several notable French oboists, and the ‘hoboy’ quickly gained popularity in England.
From 1690 onwards, Purcell regularly employed the oboe in his larger works, and it was in fact in London that the first known printed tutor for the oboe was published in 1695 in The Sprightly Companion..

And as most of us RN folk are Hornblower and Aubrey afficiandos, we can't help but bear the "Nelson Touch" on how we see the Navy.
The songs that sailors sang, like the catches or ballads such as John Bannister, William Boyce, Henry Purcell, Dr. Garrick, Nicholas Staggins, or even something by John Eccles or Thomas Arne, are not marine-born, though they are forecastle songs, etc..
However, these adopted sea songs, of which Hearts of Oak, When the Stormy Winds do Blow, Rule Brittania, Admiral Vernon's Ghost, are not exactly as apropos as "Liverpool Gals" or "Heavy Away, Joe." If I could enforce it to be all period, I would, but I'll opt for Victorian shanties, if shanties they be.

 Sir Peter Maxwell Davies: On Her Majesty's Service   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Bax, Bliss and Elgar all did pretty well.
So did the first, Nicholas Lanier (1588-1666), the lutenist and violist son of an Elizabethan sackbut (or trombone) virtuoso, who was not yet even snug in his cradle when Drake and Hawkins scorched Philip II's Spanish Armada off Calais.
Based for much of his life in Royal Greenwich, he served the Cecils and two royal heirs - the doomed Prince Henry and the future Charles I - before the latter, now king, invented the title in 1625/6 and gave him charge of the royal band.
