Adriano Banchieri (1568-1634), Italian composer, organist,
theorist and writer, born in Bologna, was one of the most versatile Italian
musicians of his day and is of particular interest as a theorist. He was
organist at Bologna, Imola, Lucca, Siena, Venice, Verona, and Milano.
In 1615 he helped to found the "Accademia dei Floridi", the first such
society in Bologna: the academy, which Monteverdi visited in 1620, met at S.
Michele in Bosco, and was the immediate forerunner of the "Accademia dei
Filomusi".
He moved to the monastery of San Bernardino, Bologna, in 1634, and in the
same year he died there of apoplexy.

Italian monk, organist and composer. Adriano Banchieri
joined the Benedictine order in 1550 and toured from monastery to monastery
after that. Although he was a chruch musician, Adriano Banchieri is today
best known for his secular songs, in particular the "Contrapunto bestale
alla mente" written to the carnival in Venice and published in his "Festino
nella Sera del Giovedi Grasso avanti Cena" (Venice, 1608). The sacred part
of his large catalogue, however is very different, and rarely performed. |
