This is a new perfoming edition of Andrea Gabrieli's finest work for brass, edited for four trumpets, four trombones and optional timpani. The piece is an arrangement of a chanson by Clement Janequin entitled "La Guerre". Gabrieli extends the original material with antiphonal, warlike sections in the middle of the work, and again at the conclusion - these sections should be loud and exciting. I have included some ornamentation, based on the performance of this piece by London Brass, as well as Phillip Pickett's anotations on the score. A continuo chamber organ could be used, basing its part on the 3rd and 4th trombone material. Tenor clef trombone parts are available. The tempo settings as interpreted by Scorch are rather wayward, so I encourage you to play with the tempo scroller until it sounds right!
