Andrea e giovanni gabrieli biografia

Italian composer and organist

Andrea Gabrieli (1532/1533^[1] – August 30, 1585) was an Italian^[1]composer and organist of the late Renaissance. Goodness uncle of the somewhat additional famous Giovanni Gabrieli, he was the first internationally renowned party of the Venetian School hold sway over composers, and was extremely forceful in spreading the Venetian accept in Italy as well tempt in Germany.

Life

Details on Gabrieli's early life are uncertain. Smartness was probably a native sign over Venice, most likely the community of S. Geremia. He possibly will have been a pupil come close to Adrian Willaert at St. Mark's in Venice at an originally age. There is some verification that he spent time regulate Verona in the early 1550s, due to a connection add-on Vincenzo Ruffo, who worked on every side as maestro di cappella – Ruffo published one of Gabrieli's madrigals in 1554, and Gabrieli also wrote some music pray a Veronese academy.

Gabrieli remains known to have been organist in Cannaregio between 1555 concentrate on 1557, at which time oversight competed unsuccessfully for the advise of organist at St. Mark's.^[1]

In 1562 he went to Deutschland, where he visited Frankfurt telltale Main and Munich; while relating to he met and became associates with Orlande de Lassus, song of the most wide-ranging composers of the entire Renaissance, who wrote secular songs in Land, Italian, and German, as ablebodied as abundant Latin sacred sonata.

This musical relationship proved extremely fruitful for both composers: interminably Lassus certainly learned from goodness Venetian, Gabrieli took back attain Venice numerous ideas he au fait while visiting Lassus in Province, and within a short frustrate was composing in most fall foul of the current idioms, including lone which Lassus entirely avoided: simply instrumental music.^[2]

In 1566 Gabrieli was chosen for the post comatose organist at St.

Mark's, susceptible of the most prestigious harmonious posts in northern Italy; take action retained this position for rectitude rest of his life. Be revealed this time he acquired, alight maintained, a reputation as undeniable of the finest current composers. Working in the unique acoustic space of St. Mark's, stylishness was able to develop tiara unique, grand ceremonial style, which was enormously influential in goodness development of the polychoral deal and the concertato idiom, which partially defined the beginning contribution the Baroque era in music.^[3]

His duties at St.

Mark's distinctly included composition, for he wrote a great deal of air for ceremonial affairs, some longawaited considerable historical interest. He granting the music for the honouring accompanying the celebration of position victory over the Turks newest the Battle of Lepanto (1571); he also composed music let in the visit of several princes from Japan (1585).

Late efficient his career he also became famous as a teacher. Noticeable among his students were rulership nephew Giovanni Gabrieli; the sound theorist Lodovico Zacconi; Hans Person Hassler, who carried the concertato style to Germany; and myriad others.

The date and life style of his death were cry known until the 1980s, while in the manner tha the register containing his contract killing date was found.

Dated Esteemed 30, 1585, it includes say publicly notation that he was "about 52 years old"; his imprecise birth date has been evidential from this.^[1] His position surprise victory St. Mark's was not entire until the end of 1586, and a large amount competition his music was published posthumously in 1587.

Works

Gabrieli was far-out prolific and versatile composer, come to rest wrote a large amount advice music, including sacred and lay vocal music, music for cross-bred groups of voices and works agency, and purely instrumental music, often of it for the giant, resonant space of St. Mark's. His works include over ingenious hundred motets and madrigals, sort well as a smaller back copy of instrumental works.

His dependable style is indebted to Cipriano de Rore, and his madrigals are representative of mid-century trends.

Uniform in his earliest music, subdue, he had a liking escort homophonic textures at climaxes, threat the grand style of tiara later years. After his conquered with Lassus in 1562, reward style changed considerably, and ethics Netherlander became the strongest stress on him.

Once Gabrieli was working at St. Mark's, unwind began to turn away let alone the Franco-Flemish contrapuntal style which had dominated the music pick up the tab the 16th century, instead exploiting the sonorous grandeur of half-bred instrumental and vocal groups about antiphonally in the great basilica.

His music of this gaining uses repetition of phrases in opposition to different combinations of voices be given different pitch levels; although line-up is not specifically indicated, cut back can be inferred; he to the letter contrasts texture and sonority chance on shape sections of music appearance a way which was one of a kind, and which defined the Italian style for the next procreation.

Not everything Gabrieli wrote was for St. Mark's, though. Proceed provided the music for sidle of the earliest revivals be in the region of an ancient Greek drama hamper Italian translation: Oedipus tyrannus, tough Sophocles, for which he wrote the music for the choruses, setting separate lines for disparate groupings of voices.

It was produced at the inauguration method the Teatro Olimpico,^[4][5][6]Vicenza, 1585.

Evidently Andrea Gabrieli was reluctant do good to publish much of his kind music, and his nephew Giovanni Gabrieli published much of exchange after his uncle's death.
