Giovanni Priuli
Giovanni Priuli (or
Prioli,
[Roche/Saunders, Grove online] ca. 1575–1626) was a
Venetian composer and organist of the late
Renaissance and early
Baroque periods. A late member of the
Venetian School, and a contemporary of
Claudio Monteverdi, he was a prominent musician in Venice in the first decade of the 17th century, departing after the death of his associate
Giovanni Gabrieli and ending his career at the
Habsburg court in Austria. His music straddled the dividing-line between Renaissance and Baroque idioms.
