Molto bella l'esecuzione. I Gabriele sono grandi musicisti. (Gabriele senza e ma con i)

¡Qué batalla más desmayada!

This is by Andrea Gabrieli, uncle of Giovanni.

Great music for its time of about 1560 or so...like an extended fanfare with trumpets and bassoons....all playing mightely and joyfully!!! Enjoyable! I just hope they're not happy about killing! :o)

[@scottschwartz5106]

It certainly is. Like many Battle pieces of the day by Jannequin, Susato and others, this is meant to imitate the fanfares of horns and trumpets, rather than more complex polyphony of church music. The Gabrielis come out well on modern or ancient instruments!

Try listening a bit further, Mr. Sludov.
