Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Giovanni Gabrieli (c1557-1612)
Bio
Giovanni Gabrieli was born in Venice and likely studied with his uncle, yesterday's composer Andrea Gabrieli. He took several prominent church positions and his compositions gained notoriety which drew students to him in Venice. A direct line can be drawn between Gabrieli's ideas in the Venetian School and Bach's ultimate culmination in the German Baroque tradition.
