SKU: A0.1765347

Composed by C. Gussago. Arranged by S. Carnelos. This edition: pdf. Baroque, Early Music. 4 pages. Sandro Carnelos #1325724. Published by Sandro Carnelos (A0.1765347).

The title, La Leona (The Lioness), is a clear nod to the Lion of St. Mark, the symbol of the Venetian Republic. This was more than just a patriotic gesture; it was a way of connecting this lively, grand piece directly to the heart and spirit of Venice, making it highly marketable and immensely popular with the local audience.
The genius of Sandro Carnelos's transcription lies in his decision to adapt this work for two antique Italian organs. The organ itself is an instrument designed to mimic and replace an entire ensemble, and the cori spezzati style translates perfectly to a two-organ setup.
Playing this music on two separate, period Italian instruments allows us to recapture the spatial element that was so crucial to the Venetian sound world. The differences in the organs' unique tonal qualities—their stops, their voicing, their inherent character—become the "voices" of Gussago's two choirs, engaging in a thrilling musical conversation across the performance space. Carnelos’s transcription respects the original spirit of the piece while utilizing the specific registrations and acoustics of the historical organs to maximum effect, transforming the wind ensemble of 1608 into a powerful dual-organ sonority.
