Canzon Per Sonare #2: Score & Parts

Canzoni were pieces composed for various combinations of instruments and various sizes of ensembles. This particular work was originally for four oboes and four bassoons. It has been adapted for 6 trumpets and this new instrumentation allows for further performances of this piece. Antiphonal spacing is always a successful performance practice allowing 3 pairs of trumpets to imitate and pass melodic material between them.
