Hidden away in Gabrieli's Sacrae Symphoniae of 1597, among forty-five vocal compositions, lie sixteen works that make up one of the first great monuments of instrumental ensemble music; fourteen canzoni and two sonatas that surpass any of their genre at that time, and that were only rarely matched in the following decades, most often by Gabrieli himself. Gabrieli must be credited with many firsts in regard to the development of the canzona and sonata: he was the first to write for more than eight parts, and first to deploy his forces polychorally. He was first to contrast polyphonic and homophonic writing, and duple and triple meter, within the same piece, and was a pioneer in the use of tone colour - and specified instrumentation - for dramatic musical effect. Egon Kenton, in his Life and Works of Giovanni Gabrieli (American Institute of Musicology, 1967) sees as well the seeds of the concerto grosso and the solo concerto in Gabrieli's use of tutti and solo writing and his setting off of soloistic upper parts against frankly accompanimental lower parts. lt would not stretch the point to add that Gabrieli fleshed out his many innovations with musical materials of a high order, and that he handled his materials with consummate skill.

Choir I: Trumpet I, Trumpet II (Horn), Trombone I (Horn), Trombone II or Baritone; Choir II: Trumpet I, Trumpet II (Horn), Trombone I (Horn), Trombone II or Baritone Transcribed by popular brass arranger Robert King, this edition of Giovanni Gabrieli's Canzon septimi toni No. 2 provides an exciting performance piece for a large Brass Ensemble. Being one of the most influential musicians during the shift from the Renaissance to the Baroque era, it is no secret that the composer committed himself primarily to vocal and sacred works. However, his Canzon septimi toni No. 2 represents an important turn, not only in the composer's career, but in musical history. Composed in 1597, this piece paved the way for what would soon become the new Baroque concerto style, which remains popular to this day. King's arrangement of this historical work is indispensable for brass ensembles.
