A Visit to Venice

I played trumpet in high school and college. This work takes the entrance notes and the key changes from a Giovanni Gabrieli brass quartet, and I wrote the new phrases and themes. A combination of old and new. I visited St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice where Gabrieli wrote many works for the cathedral. I saw the twin choir lofts upstairs where the players were stationed. I could hear the sounds of music echoing from the past. The experience was very awe-inspiring.
