Salve, Regina
Arguably the most effective of the four Marian antiphons from Legrenzi's Compline, it is also the longest. The harmonies are at their richest in the final section, with lots of 9-7 chords to relish.

La Cremona
One of Legrenzi's three sonatas for four violins. In the part book, the bass is labelled "basso viola", but a cello would seem the most appropriate instrument.

La Pezzoli
This sonata for two violins, violone and continuo comes from Op. 4 of 1656, but our edition is based on the 1682 reprint. After a lyrical triple time section, each of the three upper instruments has a solo, before they join again. A brief adagio leads into a short contrapuntal section, and then the opening is reprised.

La Fugazza
The third of the 5-part sonatas from the 1671 print, Op. 8, requiring two violins, three violas (Alto, Tenor and Viola da brazzo) and continuo. Like La Marinona, the piece works well with two violas and cello or three violas da gamba.

La Marinona
Printed in Legrenzi's Op. 8 of 1671, La Marinona is scored for two violins, two violas and continuo. It is a typical patchwork affair, with fugal sections alternating with more lyrical chordal passages.

La Galini

La Basadona
This sonata is one of Legrenzi's richest - there are two violins, two violas and two independent bass instruments with continuo. It is a multi-section work, alternating duple and triple time, and imitation with syrupy harmonies. >>>

La Buscha
This multi-section sonata by Legrenzi is for two groups of three instruments - the preferred scoring is two cornetti and bassoon, contrasting with two violins and cello, although the composer suggests that both groups can be strings.
