Brass Ensemble Trombone - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.575305 Composed by Giovanni Croce. Arranged by David Musgrove. Classical,Renaissance. Score and parts. 8 pages. David Musgrove #182964. Published by David Musgrove (A0.575305). Italian composer Giovanni Croce (1557-1609) was mostly prominent as a madrigalist, and a highly respected composer of his time. He produced less music in the choral style of the Gabrielis, which is perhaps why his music is less well known than theirs today. Generally lighter and clearer in texture than Giovanni Gabrieli, of whom he was an exact contemporary, his music nevertheless has much to offer audiences. 'Beati eritis' is a setting of two verses from St Matthew's account of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, or Beatitudes. ' Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.' It sits very well on trombones, and will particularly suit a resonant acoustic. Item number: DM 2642 MP3 sound file is produced from Sibelius.
