Gabrieli: "OMNES GENTES" for 16 brass players arranged by Chris Coletti

A Brass Choir Showpiece That Fills the Room

Few works capture the grandeur of the Venetian brass tradition like Giovanni Gabrieli's Omnes Gentes Plaudite.

This new professional edition was created to preserve the brilliance, spatial drama, and majestic sonority of Gabrieli while making the work practical for today's brass ensembles.

Whether performed with four antiphonal choirs surrounding the audience or with four players on each part in a traditional concert setting, the result is unforgettable.

Perfect for:

• University brass ensembles
• Professional brass choirs
• Festival performances
• Sacred concerts
• Cathedral performances
• Recording projects
