This short piece is an eight-part canzona by the Italian composer Francesco Cavalli in the early Baroque period. The original score only indicates the instrument the first part for violin and the third part for viola, but there are no other instrument specifications. Probably the first choir was performed on string instruments and the second choir was played by four trombones. In this arrangement, the first choir is allocated to three trumpets and one trombone, and the second choir for one trumpet and three trombones, but the alternative music for the third and fifth parts added in trombone additionally. I think it may change the total sound to more profound if it is played in a formation of two trumpets and six trombones. The original key is in C, which is one tone higher.

Adriano Banchieri (1568 - 1634) is an Italian composer at early baroque age. This Fantasia used to be played by Philip Jones Brass Ensemble. The arrangement by PJ was quartet -- 2 trps and 2 trbs -- whereas this version here is for octet for two choirs of 2 trps and 2 trbs.
