The composer was a deep lover of ancient music; he transcribed many works by such composers as Girolamo Frescobaldi, Claudio Monteverdi, and Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli. Ghedini's works are often inspired by music from the Renaissance and Baroque eras, but combined with a very personal language which combines ancient and modern styles. Among his masterworks are a "Concerto for orchestra" (in memory of Guido Cantelli), two violin concertos "Il Belprato" and "Concentus Basiliensis", and a concerto for two cellos "L'Olmeneta (The Elm Grove)" and "Musica Notturna" ("Night Music").
