Giovanni Gabrieli
The tenor cornett has a powerful "forte", yet its "piano" is soft enough to render it a suitable substitute for the C bass in a recorder consort. Cornettists Douglas Kirk and Nicholas Perry play tenor cornetts in the 1991 recording "Giovanni Gabrieli: Canzonas, Sonatas &amp; Motets" by the Taverner Consort, Choir &amp; Players, directed by Andrew Parrott. Originally on EMI (CDC 7 54265 2), this recording is now available on the Virgin label. Roland Wilson and his group Musica Fiata employ tenor cornetts in their recordings of the "Psalmen Davids" of Heinrich Schütz and the "Feast of San Rocco" recording of music by Giovanni Gabrieli and his contemporaries. Both recordings are available on the Sony label.
