Perhaps "Principal," the first player in a section or on a part;
"Principale" in Italian, though there's no additional meaning to the
Italian.
FYI, "Virtuoso" is already a term in In Nomine; it's a person who is
particularly good with a given Song, so that one might be a Virtuoso of
the Song of Form. "Colla parte" means "with the soloist," and suggests
someone in a vassal-like position, following along with a superior;
"Colla Voce" means "with the voice," and might suggest that the Vassal
is following along with *The* Voice, i.e. the voice of the Symphony, or
of God.
The names you suggest for Gabriel look good to me.
