Life
Andrea Gabrieli is the uncle of composer Giovanni Gabrieli.
- He was born ca. 1533 in Venice (Italian spelling is Venezia); he did not pass all of his life in Venice; he was in Germany for quite some time, and returned to Italy in 1566.
- He became organist in the Basilica Ducale di San Marco (the main and biggest church of Venice) in 1566, succeeding Annibale Padovano.
- He died in 1586 in Venice.
His works are mainly instrumental, and included among the others Toccate, Recercari, Canzoni alla francese, and the beautiful and sweetest Intonazioni d’organo.
