Who is known as the 'father of orchestration'?

Giovanni Gabrielli http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Gabrieli There were quite a few gems here, many of them too rarely performed. The music of Giovanni Gabrieli, sometimes called "the father of orchestration," proved a special treat, with its lightning quick trade-offs of musical impulses between choirs and instruments, no transitions allowed, the music jumping across space. In the "Sonata pian' e forte," for brass, he added explicit loud and soft dynamics (one of the first pieces to do so), creating distant echoes and explosive responses. http://www.ocregister.com/entertainment/music-performers-listener-1915669-cathedral-old [Added references - McG] Apr 05 00, 12:05 PM
