an English composer. His works are well represented in the Eton Choirbook. Lambe's music shows an imagination and technical mastery exceeded by few others. His achievement is very diverse; for example, he wrote the longest antiphon in the Eton choirbook, O Maria plena gratia, and one of the shortest, Nesciens mater. More important, his antiphons display opportunity for brilliant vocal display and imaginative counterpoint.
