[TPIN] antiphonal brass

[tnlongrifle at juno.com]

Has anyone ever played antiphonal brass vs. choir? I have my finaly conducting recital in November and we're doing a couple of Gabrieli pieces written for antiphonal choir. I'm using brass for the coro secondo. My question(s) is (are) this (these?): Have you seen any unique challenges that I as the conductor ought to be aware of? What literature of this type have you played? For what it's worth, my recital is in the chapel at Southern Seminary, which has balconies running down each side wall. I plan to put brass in one and singers in the other. This is supposed to be like St. Marks in Venice, but there's some question as to whether or not they actually did that.
