Giovanni Gabrieli's iconic piece for brass ensemble, one the first to ever feature written dynamics, can now be played by a standard string orchestra (or octet).

The antiphonal nature of the original is maintained by having the 1st violins and cellos as one ensemble, and the 2nd violins, violas and double basses as the other. Orchestral seating of violin 1, cello, viola, violin 2 works perfectly for this arrangement, and the score is laid out accordingly.

Whilst the double bass part is a great addition to this arrangement, it can also be played without the bass. A violin 3 part is also included in case no violas are available.
