Giovanni Gabrieli was no mere composer. He was an event. The figure at the nexus of many things all coming together in one grand tide. The greatest church in the greatest city of Europe. Freedom of intellectual thought. A Venetian School of composers at the forefront of musical innovation. The printing press and musical publishing. A Doge (Chief Magistrate or Duke) willing to spend, and spend big, on musical pomp and ceremony. A dearth of wealth and money to fund the grandest celebrations. He was the leading Italian composer and organist in Venice at its greatest heights at the chasm between the end of the Renaissance and the beginning of the Baroque period in music. Presented here is an unusual Canzona published around 1615 for 7 brass. A variety of substitute parts are also included to handle F Horn and trombone parts. Unlike many of Gabrielis other Canzonas, this work starts out with a pleasing chanson dance-like melody that is repeated throughout all 7 instruments. The end of the piece grows more serious with a cascading series of trumpet flourishes that each echo each other rising towards the final conclusion. A most unusual style for Gabrieli with interesting variations on many themes the composer has used throughout his many other works.
