  • According to Grove Music, Gabrieli's instrumental canzonas and sonatas were "probably designed for use in S Marco during mass and vespers on the most important liturgical commemorations and greatest occasional events; they certainly exploit the exceptionally large resources available in the church and the virtuosity of several players, in particular Girolamo Dalla Casa and Giovanni Bassano. As in some of Gabrieli’s late motets, the ornamentation applied to the melodic lines is similar to that set out in the treatises of these two virtuoso cornett players." So although brass is an obvious choice for these works, the use of strings would also be normal for this type of work.
