Everyone's heard the wonderful music of Giovanni Gabrieli; but his uncle, Andrea, was also a very fine composer; indeed, he contributed to what we now know as the antiphonal, polychoral sound associated with St Mark's in Venice. Timothy Roberts directs His Majesty's Sagbutts and Cornetts in fine performances of his Missa Pater Peccavi, some organ works, and motets. Sadly, this does not appear to be in the Hyperion catalog at present; but it is certainly worth looking for.
