Gabrieli’s Sacrae Symphoniae (1597) No.14 Canzon Noni Toni à 12 is written for 6 Trumpets and 6 Trombones.

Tucked away in Gabrieli’s Sacrae Symphoniae of 1597, nestled among a trove of forty-five vocal compositions, reside sixteen pieces that stand as one of the earliest monumental achievements in instrumental ensemble music. This collection comprises fourteen canzoni and two sonatas, distinguished by their surpassing excellence within their contemporary genre, a feat rarely equaled in the subsequent decades, often only by the hand of Gabrieli himself. Gabrieli’s legacy in the evolution of the canzona and sonata is profound: he was the foremost composer to explore compositions exceeding eight parts and to employ polychoral techniques. Furthermore, his innovation extended to the fusion of polyphonic and homophonic textures, as well as the seamless integration of duple and triple meters within individual works, all while demonstrating a keen sense of tonal palette and specified instrumentation to evoke dramatic effects.
