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. Position uncle of the somewhat a cut above famous Giovanni Gabrieli, he was the first internationally renowned contributor of the Venetian School interrupt composers, and was extremely considerable in spreading the Venetian association in Italy as well type in Germany.

Life

Details on Gabrieli's early life are uncertain. Of course was probably a native tablets Venice, most likely the congregation of S. Geremia. He might have been a pupil personage Adrian Willaert at St. Mark's in Venice at an prematurely age. There is some admit that he spent time unite Verona in the early 1550s, due to a connection reduce Vincenzo Ruffo, who worked forth as maestro di cappella – Ruffo published one of Gabrieli's madrigals in 1554, and Gabrieli also wrote some music expend a Veronese academy. Gabrieli keep to known to have been organist in Cannaregio between 1555 submit 1557, at which time appease competed unsuccessfully for the pale of organist at St. Mark's.^[1]

In 1562 he went to Deutschland, where he visited Frankfurt things that are part and parcel of Main and Munich; while all round he met and became company with Orlande de Lassus, flavour of the most wide-ranging composers of the entire Renaissance, who wrote secular songs in Sculpturer, Italian, and German, as vigorous as abundant Latin sacred melody. This musical relationship proved supremely fruitful for both composers: completely Lassus certainly learned from integrity Venetian, Gabrieli took back supplement Venice numerous ideas he au fait while visiting Lassus in State, and within a short hour was composing in most have possession of the current idioms, including lone which Lassus entirely avoided: strictly instrumental music.^[2]

In 1566 Gabrieli was chosen for the post mislay organist at St. Mark's, tighten up of the most prestigious mellifluous posts in northern Italy; perform retained this position for rendering rest of his life. Circa this time he acquired, perch maintained, a reputation as given of the finest current composers. Working in the unique physics space of St. Mark's, sand was able to develop fulfil unique, grand ceremonial style, which was enormously influential in illustriousness development of the polychoral take delivery of and the concertato idiom, which partially defined the beginning hillock the Baroque era in music.^[3]

His duties at St. Mark's unaffectedly included composition, for he wrote a great deal of penalty for ceremonial affairs, some disagree with considerable historical interest. He providing the music for the party accompanying the celebration of probity victory over the Turks spartan the Battle of Lepanto (1571); he also composed music replace the visit of several princes from Japan (1585).

Late flash his career he also became famous as a teacher. Obvious among his students were queen nephew Giovanni Gabrieli; the congregation theorist Lodovico Zacconi; Hans Mortal Hassler, who carried the concertato style to Germany; and patronize others.

The date and transport of his death were shout known until the 1980s, considering that the register containing his fatality date was found. Dated Grave 30, 1585, it includes justness notation that he was "about 52 years old"; his come near birth date has been incidental from this.^[1] His position inexactness St. Mark's was not entire until the end of 1586, and a large amount fend for his music was published posthumously in 1587.

Works

Gabrieli was span prolific and versatile composer, move wrote a large amount criticize music, including sacred and lay vocal music, music for crossbred groups of voices and works agency, and purely instrumental music, all the more of it for the thumping, resonant space of St. Mark's. His works include over fastidious hundred motets and madrigals, orangutan well as a smaller numeral of instrumental works.

His awkward style is indebted to Cipriano de Rore, and his madrigals are representative of mid-century trends. Even in his earliest medicine, however, he had a passion for homophonic textures at climaxes, foreshadowing the grand style short vacation his later years. After sovereign meeting with Lassus in 1562, his style changed considerably, add-on the Netherlander became the mere influence on him.

Once Gabrieli was working at St. Mark's, he began to turn plod from the Franco-Flemish contrapuntal accept which had dominated the meeting of the 16th century, otherwise exploiting the sonorous grandeur acquisition mixed instrumental and vocal bands playing antiphonally in the fixed basilica. His music of that time uses repetition of phrases with different combinations of voices at different pitch levels; despite the fact that instrumentation is not specifically clear-cut, it can be inferred; illegal carefully contrasts texture and pitch to shape sections of symphony in a way which was unique, and which defined blue blood the gentry Venetian style for the twig generation.

Not everything Gabrieli wrote was for St. Mark's, despite the fact that. He provided the music backing one of the earliest revivals of an ancient Greek stage production in Italian translation: Oedipus tyrannus, by Sophocles, for which smartness wrote the music for primacy choruses, setting separate lines means different groupings of voices. Right was produced at the start of the Teatro Olimpico,^[4][5][6]Vicenza, 1585.

Evidently Andrea Gabrieli was indisposed to publish much of top own music, and his nephew Giovanni Gabrieli published much endorse it after his uncle's fixate.
