Choral Piece of the Day, Installment 58: "Dormiva dolcemente" Reimagined
(Gabrieli/Hoffman)
(SATB/SATB, or 2 Brass Quartets, or Both)
(Adaptation Created in 2023)
Singing Gabrieli's magnificent secular choral work "Dormiva dolcemente" in the Cleveland Heights High School Choir (OH) stayed with me all these years. In 2023, I created these two versions. Each one begins with Gabrieli's original version followed by my own which is a carefully considered reharmonization of his. The two versions may be performed separately or together.
