Composed by Giovanni Gabrieli. Arranged by Mike Forbes. Chamber music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.90018).
Giovanni Gabrieli's (1557/57- 1612) Four Canzoni would have been performed in liturgical settings from the balconies in the magnificent St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice where Gabrieli was the principal organist. These four arrangements may be performed individually or as a group and would be especially suitable as prelude music to our modern church services.
