I'm looking to add a Gabrieli piece to a tentative program that I'm arranging. My instrumentation is: 3 trumpets, 3 horns, 2 tenor trombones, bass trombone, and tuba. Did Gabrieli write anything for 2 choirs of 5, or any other arrangement of 10 musicians? I can arrange any version that exists out there. Thanks for the help!

You could do the Tchaikovsky/Robert King thing, and double the 4th part (some/most of the time) with the tuba.

That's not a bad idea. He wrote a lot of octets for two choirs.

Thank you for the links! I always forget that IMSLP exists. Canzon XIV looks most promising, but I don't see it on their website.
