Giovanni Gabrieli was an
Italian composer and
organist of the late
Renaissance and early
Baroque periods. He was
born in Venice, where he
trained as a musician and
composer, initially
studying with his uncle,
Andrea Gabrieli, who was
a prominent musician and
composer in the city.
Gabrieli eventually
succeeded his uncle as
the organist and composer
at St. Mark's Basilica in
Venice, where he worked
for most of his career.
Gabrieli's Sacrae
Symphoniae is a
collection of sacred
instrumental music that
was published in Venice
in 1597 which includes
canzonas, sonatas, and
motets, all of which were
composed for the unique
acoustics of St. Mark's
Basilica in Venice. The
Sacrae Symphoniae is an
important work in the
development of
instrumental music, as it
represents a shift away
from vocal music and
towards the use of
instruments in sacred
music. The collection
features a range of
different instrumental
combinations, including
brass, strings, and
organ, and often employs
multiple choirs or groups
of instruments to create
a rich, complex
sound.
