Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Questi odorate fiori - These fragrant flowers

Giaches De Wert was a Franco-Flemish composer who moved to Italy and became a master of the Italian Madrigal.  Wert’s madrigals were highly influential on Gabrieli and foreshadow the development of Baroque style and opera.  Brass players in the Renaissance would have played this music in ensembles along with singers or string and wind instrumentalists.  They also adapted this music and performed it as their own, a practice that the GBQ gladly continues.       The Gaudete Brass Quintet
