Description:
Transcribed by popular brass arranger, Robert King, this edition of Giovanni Gabrieli's Canzona per Sonare No. 2 from Canzoni per sonare con ogni sorte di stromenti provides an exciting performance piece for a large brassensemble. Being one of the most influential musicians during the shift from the Renaissance to the Baroque era, it is no secret that the composer leaned himself primarily to vocal and sacred works. However, his Canzona per SonareNo. 2 represents an important turn, not only in the composer's career, but in musical history. Composed in 1608, this piece helped pave the way to what would soon become the new Baroque concerto style, which remains popular tothis day. King's arrangement of this historical work is indispensable for Brass Ensembles.
