Canzon noni toni à 12 (1597)

By: Gabrieli: Eric Crees Performing Edition

Despite having essentially a ‘minor’ feel this is one of most brilliant three choir canzonas. Dur 3

Gabrieli is one of the truly great composers but sadly neglected. His compositions, moreover, are rarely of great technical difficulty, making them ideal for mixed ensembles and school use. We hope this edition will bring these magnificent pieces to a wider audience, especially the young.
