There have been many recordings of this famous Gabrieli
Canzoni for various combinations of brass instruments,
but there are very few arrangements for trumpet
ensemble. Editorial markings have been added to this
particular Canzon to add dynamic variances as well as
articulations for clarity of performance. I believe it
adds new life into these standard pieces in the brass
ensemble repertoire. I created this arrangement for a
modern Brass Ensemble (Bb Trumpets, French Horns and
Tubas) and transposed thie work into the Key of F
Major.
