BRIXTON BOOK - RICERCARE ON C for four C flutes by Andrea Gabrieli

RICERCARE ON C for four C flutes by Andrea Gabrieli (1510-1586) transcribed by Howard J. Buss. This late Renaissance work is written in a stirring imitative style. Particularly interesting are the meter changes involving metric modulations, a trait found in much of the dance music of the day. It makes an outstanding feature number for a recital as well as a wonderful musical offering in church.
