Biography

• Organist and principal composer at St. Mark’s Basilica (Venice) from 1585-1612.
• Wrote many church motets in the "cori spezzati" style (using more than one choir at a time).
• Taught Heinrich Schütz (another important composer) and many other composers during his lifetime.
• Most famous work (the one with those infamous dynamics) is the Sonata pian e forte.
