Composed by Andrea Gabrieli. Arranged by Todd Marchand. Renaissance,Sacred. 13 pages. Con Spirito Music #5359025. Published by Con Spirito Music (A0.726097).

Ricercari were a popular form of instrumental composition in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods, spanning approximately the years 1520-1650. Meaning "to search out," ricercari are typically a musical exploration of a particular motif, in which each section oof the work begins imitatively, usually in a variation form. This imitative, contrapuntal musical form eventually developed into the fugue.

Andrea Gabrieli (c. 1532-1585) was the first internationally renowned member of the school of composers founded by Adrian Willaert (c. 1490-1562) at the Cathedral of St. Mark in Venice, and was extremely influential in spreading the Venetian style in both Italy and Germany. Although Gabrieli himself published little of his music, posthumous publications (many edited by his nephew, Giovanni Gabrieli) demonstrate compositional mastery of a wide variety of Venetian sacred, secular, and dramatic music. Gabrieli was an influential teacher as well as organist and composer; his notable students include his nephew, Giovanni Gabrieli (c. 1556-1612) and Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612).

"Duodecimo tuono" means "the twelfth tone" - the C Ionian mode, or C major scale. This edition is transposed down a major third from the original key to the key of A-flat major. It also includes dynamic markings and articulations not present in the original work.
