Transcribed by popular brass arranger, Robert King, this edition of Giovanni Gabrieli's Canzona per Sonare No. 2 from Canzoni per sonare con ogni sorte di stromenti 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 leaned himself primarily to vocal and sacred works. However, his Canzona per Sonare No. 2 represents an important turn, not only in the composer's career, but in musical history. Composed in 1608, this piece helped pave the way to what would soon become the new Baroque concerto style, which remains popular to this day. King's arrangement of this historical work is indispensable for Brass Ensembles.

The guitarist Sigi Schwab from Munich has not only made a name for himself as a performer of classical guitar music and guitar chamber music but he has also become known as a jazz and studio musician, as a brilliant improviser and as a partner of Peter Horton in their legendary duo 'Guitarrissimo'. He has rather rarely presented written compositions. His 'Chaconne' for guitar continues the great chaconne tradition in the Renaissance and Baroque eras and varies a four-bar harmonic ostinato pattern as did the guitar compositions in the 16th and 17th centuries. In his work, Schwab still leaves enough room for improvisation. A rewarding original piece for concert and competition performances.

Lajos Bárdos (1899-1986), composer, musicologist, teacher, and choral conductor, laid down, together with Kodály, the foundations of 20th-century Hungarian choral music. Through his work as a conductor, he raised the standards of Hungarian choral singing to an international level in a few decades. His compositions were directed towards cultivating Hungarian choral life: they draw on Renaissance polyphony and Hungarian folk music, following Kodály and Bartók. His works, which are models of choral writing, deal sensitively with Hungarian prosody and radiate an inner harmony and vigor. A selection of his most popular choral works has been published with English texts by Gail Needleman in five volumes. Contents: 1. Ey, Sweet Marjoram 2. In the Forest 3. Rossa Erno: Stars are shining 4. Hey, Daddy Longlegs - Melody from Gombos, Bácska (now Serbia).
