This ten part canzona is a classic ~ a calm opening precedes a short cross-rhythmic 3/4 section followed by an extraordinary common time section which combines ingenious counterpoint and crisp rhythms...

Another major key for two five-part choirs beginning with stately counter- point. The lower second choir takes on a more subdued role before a triple time section and a grand ending. Dur 2'45'

In florid and stunning counterpoint throughout, the one near rhythmic unison towards the middle comes as a real shock. A work showing extraordinary technique. Dur 2'45'

Exchanging the familiar antiphonal effects for skilful counterpoint, this canzona manages to successfully combine both grandeur and extreme virtuosity for the principal players of each of the two choi...

Following a grand opening tutti for the two equal choirs of five voices, Gabrieli crafts an ingenious work where every aspect of echo effect is explored.

A work which clearly looks towards the baroque concerto grosso with its repeated ritornello and its virtuoso writing for two soloists.

The predominant feature in this one-choir work is solemn counterpoint, largely in the soprano and alto register.

Characteristic rhythms and triple times for each four-part choir separately, followed by a glorious combination of all three choirs with some wonderfully incisive rhythmic passages. Dur 3'30'

Scored for three, four-part choirs this canzona is the most fanfare-like and brilliant of Gabrieli's entire output and all based on a simple arpeggio figure. Dur 2'15'
