We do rock music a lot around here. Here is a short piece (about 40 seconds) of some Gabrielli. I was not able to track down which of the Gabriellis wrote this (Som Metal - is the name of the ensemble) so if any one has a clue leave a comment. Was it Giovanni Gabrielli (the most likely choice)? Domenico Gabrielli? Or one of the other members of that illustrious family?
Updated to show that Som Metal is the name of the ensemble. More in the comments. Thanks Eric Blair.

I've heard that piece before. I think it is Giovanni. Through the magic of Google, I find that that is a Brazilian ensemble: SomMetal
Definitely Giovanni... I think it's "Sonata pian e forte", but I'll have to check.

This is undoubtedly Giovanni Gabrielli -- the piece you added above is from the beginning of "O Magnum Mysterium" (trans. "O Great Mystery") and it's basically a Christmas piece -- about the Incarnation (the birth of Jesus). Gabrielli is Baroque at its best!
