Transcribed by popular brass arranger Robert King this edition of Giovanni Gabrieli's Canzon septimi toni No. 2 provides an exciting performance piece for a large Brass Ensemble. Being one of the most influential musicians during the shift from the Renaissance to the Baroque era it is no secret that the composer committed himself primarily to vocal and sacred works. However his Canzon septimi toni No. 2 represents an important turn not only in the composer's career but in musical history. Composed in 1597 this piece paved the way for what would soon become the new Baroque concerto style which remainspopular to this day. King's arrangement of this historical work is indispensable for Brass Ensembles.

G.F. Handel's (1685-1759) Water Music is one of the most famous suites ever to be written. Therefore when Robert King (1914-1999) arranged three movements of the popular piece for the brass choir or brass sextet it was very well-received. The Water Music premiered in 1717 and was originally composed for orchestra. The three movements arranged for brass are the two famous Allegros and the well-known Andante. King's transcriptions ensure that the brass parts contain the articulation phrasing and breath marks necessary to the instrument. For all classical brass ensembles this King arrangement of the popular WaterMusic is essential.
