Two Canzoni Da Sonar (Including Girometta) - Score and parts by Cangiasi. For string quartet; or SATB recorders. String Quartets, Quintets etc., Recorder Quartets. Italian Instrumental Music of the Renaissance. Score and Parts. Published by London Pro Musica (MM.LPMIM12).

Little is known about Giovanni Antonio Cangiasi, except that he was born in Milan, and was a member of the Franciscan order: in 1590 he was organist at the cathedral in Vercelli, and in 1602 was working at San Francesco in Milan. By 1614 he was organist at Castelnuovo di Scrivia, a small town between Milan and Genoa. These pieces are mostly often playful, often eccentric, and sometimes even bizarre. - BT.
