Caro Dolce Ben Mio for Brass Quintet

Andrea Gabrieli

transcribed by Christopher Swainhart

This madrigal of Andrea Gabrieli is transcribed from Musica Divina, a set of madrigals published in part books in 1583 and is arranged for quintet by Christopher Swainhart. An example of the classic 16th century madrigal, it is highly imitative and contains several examples of fauxbourdon. A scholarly edition, it is exciting in performance and the metric shifts bring rhythmic vitality.
