About the work

Four voices in conversation.

Hans Leo Hassler’s lively canzona brings together clear imitation, changing textures, and a strong sense of forward motion. This arrangement lets the warm lower sonorities of the ATBGb recorder quartet carry the piece’s interweaving lines. The arrangement includes a complete score and individual parts.
