Composed by Giovanni Gabrieli. Recorder Sextets etc. Early Music Library. Choral or Vocal Music. Score and Parts. Published by Magnamusic Distributors Inc (MM.EML0208).

Gabrieli's impressive O che felice giorno is taken from the Gardane anthology Dialoghi Musicali de diversi eccellentissimi autori a Sette, Otto, Nove, Dieci, Undeci and Dodeci Voci, published in Venice in 1590. Its strength and rhythmic charm derive from its excellent word-setting. A particularly unusual effect is the imitation of bagpipes in the triple section, with a sustained drone that results in quite unconventional but charming harmonies.
