Andrea Gabrielli (c. 1533-1585) was one of the most versatile Italian composers of the 16th century. He wrote in a variety of genres, from vocal music to keyboard music. The focus of the present recording is his Missa Apostolorum, a mass in alternatim in which his organ verses are alternated with Gregorian chant. The verses are only extant in manuscript form in a library in Turin. The Introitus, final Amen and Ite are missing from the present mass and have been supplied from other pieces by Gabrielli; the Agnus Dei, also missing, is by Claudio Merulo.
