Voicing: SATB a cappella
By Giovanni Gastoldi
Edited and Arranged by Patrick Leibergen
Patrick Liebergen excels at arranging and editing historical choral works into forms more accessible for today's choral ensembles. For this work, Liebergen has chosen a balletto by Giovanni Gastoldi, originally scored for SSATB and published with the title "Il Martellato." Patrick has included his English setting above the original Italian text and has provided an optional keyboard accompaniment. Very effective in the a cappella style, even better with the use of flutes, recorders, strings, or keyboard. Duration: 1:55
