When it happened that there were four sackbut musicians, a bass vocalist, and many other willing Funks in Santa Cruz, this concert was formed to take advantage of a rare opportunity to play music written specifically for 2 or more sackbuts. Much of the music written in the 1400's featured multiple sackbuts accompanied by a cornett, bass viol, and organ.

• Sonatina 9 (1696); Gottfried Reiche
    Cornett, 3 sackbuts
• Canzone quattro tromboni (1629); Biagio Marini
    4 sackbuts
