Duration: 12 minutes

In 1990 two sections from the solo trombone work composed in 1986 were developed for Moving Being’s production of The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster. As the original performances of The Duchess of Malfi had taken place in 1613-14, shortly after Gabrieli’s death, it seemed appropriate to refer to the Venetian composer’s music.  This version of Intonazioni e Canzone is a new orchestration of music from that production.
