Aptly titled concert and album! Taking breaths is the key to skill on the cornetto, and Dickey's cornetto takes my breath away!

This is a track from Concerto Palatino's new CD (to be released June
2023 for the label Passacaille)called, Ex tenebris ad lucem: Venetian Music of Penitence from a time of Plague (1575-77). The CD juxtaposes music from the Venetian plague years with a newly commissioned work of American composer Robert Kyr. Here in Giovanni Gabrieli's 10 voice motet, a cornetto plays the top voice with four singers in the first choir, while an alto voice sings the with four trombones in the second.

Giovanni Gabrieli - Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo a 10
