Giovanni Gabrieli (c.
1555-1612), perhaps best
known for his many
published motets and
instrumental canzoni,
spent the majority of his
career as organist at
Venice's Basilica San
Marco. Sonata XVIII
survives in the 1615
print Canzoni et Sonate
(RISM G88), compiled and
edited posthumously by a
Father P. Thaddeo,
Gabrieli's confessor
(likely assisted by
Alvise Grani, who is
credited with the same
for Symphoniae Sacrae
II). The work is scored
for 3 choirs, with
rubrics indicating the
use of 4 cornetti and 10
tromboni. The present
edition is based on a
copy of RISM G88 located
in the Staatsbibliothek
Augsburg. All notes and
accidentals are true to
the print; ficta and
optional ornamentation
based on the treatises of
Bassano and Dalla Casa
are located above the
staff. Substitute parts
are available in PDF form
from the publisher by
request.
