Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber (1644-1704)

About Sonata Sancti Polycarpi

Another of Biber's many other facets was that of an important composer for the trumpet. Not only in Kremsier, but also in Salzburg he had at his disposal an illustrious group of trumpeters. The present «Sonata Sancti Polycarpi» –together with Biber’s own «Sonata a 7» for six trumpets, kettledrums, & continuo, and Altenburg's famous «Concerto a VII Clarini con Tymp.» – is one of the most important Baroque compositions for an ensemble of natural trumpets.
