Giovanni Gabrieli
Giovanni Gabrieli (born in 1555, dead the August 12th, 1612) was a Compositeur Italy N. Gabrieli studied with his/her uncle, the type-setter Andrea Gabrieli, and with Orlando Lassus. It became the titular Organiste of the basilica Saint-Marc with Venice in 1585, and the year following the death of his uncle, it also took again the post of principal type-setter of it. San Marco had a long tradition of excellence in the musical field and works that Gabrieli created there in did one of the most famous type-setters in Europe. Like other type-setters before and after him (Monteverdi for example), it used the characteristic of the provision of the church, with its two cabins for the choruses facing, to create seizing spaciaux effects. Several of its parts are thus written so that one hears initially a chorus on the left before the chorus located on the right does not answer.
Gabrieli was a very original type-setter and is regarded as an important figure of the transition between the Musique from the Rebirth and the Baroque music. One finds in his works the beginnings of the use of the Basse continues and in his Sonata pian E strong , some of the first indications of nuances (i.e. indications on the fact of playing more or less extremely).
It was also one of the first to use instrumental parts inside works choral societies. In 1597, it published a collection of works choral societies Sacrae symphoniae which was success through all the continent. He was also thereafter the professor of type-setters such as Michael Praetorius and Heinrich Schütz.
