    Who is known as the 'father of orchestration'?

    		Giovanni Gabrielli

    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.

I've been trying to find it for years now with no success.
