Giovanni Battista Grillo (15?? ~1622)

- Sonata seconda à 7 (1618) -

Ensemble Elyma
Gabriel Garrido (conductor)


Giovanni Battista Grillo (late 16th century Venice, mid-Nov 1622) was an Italian composer and organist.

Little is known about Grillo until he was elected organist to the Venetian confraternity 'Scuola Grande di S Rocco' on 28 August 1612. In addition he was appointed first organist of San Marco on 30 December 1619.

His music reflects on Giovanni Gabrieli, especially his Sacri concentus ac symphoniae (Venice 1618) which includes vocal canzonas up to 12 parts, using cori spezzati. He is also known for three instrumental canzonas published in Raveri's collection Canzoni per sonare con ogni sorte di stromenti (Venice, 1608)

  • Sorry everyone, i had been a mistake because I knew wrong about this a music information. So far, I was written by mistake to information as for Claudio Monteverdi's piece. This piece was composed by Giovanni Battista Grillo, and therefore i had to revise it

  • Monteverdi is great! I'm just recently rediscovering him and his music. The splendor and majesty that was Venice is forever captured in his music. I was born 400 years too late. What can possibly compare to the art and music of that age?

  • Amazing!!

  • @rubaomaturana (Sorry, I deleted my old account.) This piece is on the 3 CD set of Monteverdi's Il Ritorno di Ulisse in Patria on label K617 (or another called Monteverdi: The 3 Operas). Look it up on cd-baroque [dot] com. Yes, it is Gabriel Garrido conducting! In case you don't want the opera, perhaps you can find it in a recording of Grillo's sonatas. But if you like Monteverdi/Garrido then you should grab this excellent album. Cheers.
