Canzon Prima Click to Listen, [2:45]
Published posthumously in 1615, this is obviously for brass but has been adapted for one keyboard and pedal of the Renaissance Organ. All stops were used except the Cymbale, Copula minor, and Salicinale, and the pedal was uncoupled. Many thanks to Alain Naigeon for providing the PDF score and MIDI file, which I imported and adjusted for overlapping notes . Most of his articulations are intact, but the pedal had to be modified extensively for the short keyboard . Instrument: Renaissance Organ (ca. 1587) in gothic church in Smecno, Czech Republic - Samples by Jiri Zurek
