  Gioseffo Zarlino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gioseffo Zarlino (January 31 or March 22, 1517 – February 4, 1590), was an Italian music theorist and composer of the Renaissance.
Zarlino was the first to recognize the primacy of the triad over the interval as a means of harmonic thinking.
Zarlino's writings, primarily published by Francesco Franceschi, spread throughout Europe at the end of the 16th century.

Studying in his youth for the Church, he was admitted to the minor orders in 1539 and ordained deacon in 1541 at Venice; but he soon devoted himself entirely to the study of music under the guidance of Adrian Willaert, then choirmaster at St Marks.
Willaert, dying in 1562, was succeeded by Cipriano di Rore, on whose removal to Parma in I 565 Zarlino was elected choirmaster.
The ode was followed by a solemn service in St Marks, in which Zarlinos music formed a prominent feature, and the festival concluded with the representation of a dramatic piece entitled Orfeo composed by Zarlino.

 Venetian School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gioseffo Zarlino, one of the most influential writers on music of the age, called Willaert "the new Pythagoras," and Willaert's influence was profound, not only as a composer but as a teacher, since most of the Venetians who followed studied with him.
Friction between the two groups came to a head in 1569 with a dramatic, public fight between Donato and Zarlino during the Feast of St. Mark.
Members of the conservative branch tended to follow the style of Franco-Flemish polyphony, and included Cipriano de Rore, Zarlino, and Claudio Merulo; members of the progressive group included Donato, Giovanni Croce, and later Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli.

 Gioseffo Guami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1588 he was appointed to the post of first organist at St. Mark's (there were two organists, who usually also served as composers, under the direction of the maestro di cappella, who at that time was Gioseffo Zarlino).
When Zarlino died he Guami returned to Lucca, possibly because he was not appointed as Zarlino's successor; in Lucca he was employed as the organist at the cathedral, where he stayed until he died.
The major influences on Guami's sacred music style are from Willaert, his teacher at St. Mark's, and Cipriano de Rore, and later from Lassus; indeed the two composers may have been friends since they served together in Munich and evidently traveled together.

 Gioseffo Zarlino Biography / Biography of Gioseffo Zarlino Biography
Born in Chioggia near Venice, Gioseffo Zarlino received his initial training in religion and music from Franciscans, whose order he entered as early as 1537.
Zarlino esteemed and emulated Willaert, crediting him with having the restored music to a level previously enjoyed only in classical times.
Even while, or perhaps because, Zarlino was a conservative composer, he wrote the best critique of the music of his time and the age that led up to it.

It remains to be seen how musician-theorists such as Gioseffo Zarlino and Vincenzo Galilei of the late Baroque period responded to the influence of rhetoric during this time period.
To Zarlino, this translates into musical practice as the composer's obligation "to accompany each word in such a way that, if it denotes harshness, hardness, cruelty, bitterness, and other things of this sort, the harmony will be similar, that is, somewhat hard and harsh, but so that it does not offend.
Throughout the rest of the early 17th century, music theorists elaborated upon the ideas of Zarlino and Galilei, ultimately leading to a separation in the study of music theory that encompassed the thought of most Italian composers, including Claudio Monteverdi, Guilio Caccini, and Jacopo Peri, the members of the Florentine Camarata.

Zarlino argued that the arithmetic division and the harmonic division of the “fifth,” length ratio 3/2, are equally important to the development of music theory.
Zarlino severely criticizes Stifel’s geometric division of the “tone,” ratio 9/8, two years later he fails to acknowledge Stifel’s stunning mathematical solution for the division of musical intervals into two or more harmonic means.
In conformity with Zarlino’s method of calculating a harmonic division based on the three terms of a corresponding arithmetic division, the column to the left of String III gives the latter three terms in a rectangular frame.

Keyed and fretted instruments, which are mechanically tuned, cannot follow the free intonation of the voice, but for them Zarlino proposed a compromise by which the octave is divided into twelve equal semitones, and this has been finally adopted for them also.
Altogether, Zarlino’s treatise had the most far-reaching effects in musical theory, in the practice of composition, and in the construction of musical instruments.

 ZARLINO Intro and Chap. 1 (English)
He also recognised that the singers he heard were, for the most part, incapable of singing "in a way that gives the listener this total well-being which comes from perfect harmony." This incapacity he attributed to the harmful influence of the pianos with tempered tuning with which they practised.
Until the seventeenth century, singers were taught by means of a monochord, for which Zarlino, in the middle of the sixteenth century, had rediscovered the true natural scale.
No matter what one might think after superficial examination of a figure (Figure 1.1) appearing in his treatise, Zarlino could in no way have "rediscovered the natural scale," for the simple reason that the concept of scale and its corollary, of key or tonality, did not exist at the time of the Renaissance.

Study of the musical citations of Part IV of Le Istitutione harmoniche in their wider context provides remarkable insight into Gioseffo Zarlino's appropriation, gradual assimilation, and eventual reworking of Heinrich Glarean's dodecachordal theory over a twenty-five year period.
Zarlino's citations come from three primary sources (RISM 15204, Zarlino 1549, and Willaert 1559) and substantiate his view of the best of "ancient" and "modern" composition as well as implicitly enhancing his own compositional stature through self-citation.
Through observations about Zarlino's citations and the evolving relationship with dodecachordal theory they suggest, I address the broader question of his role as a reader, consumer, and agent of printed musical and theoretical sources.

In force of personality, and with his central position as maestro di cappella at St. Mark's, he became the most influential musician in Europe between the death of Josquin and the time of Palestrina.
According to Gioseffo Zarlino, writing later in the 16th century, Willaert was the inventor of the antiphonal style from which the polychoral style of the Venetian school evolved.
As there were two choir lofts, one of each side of the main altar of St. Mark's, both provided with an organ, Willaert divided the choral body into two sections, using them either antiphonally or simultaneously.

 George Russell's Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization
The foundations of the Lydian Chromatic Concept are not new, and are in fact rooted in Pythagorean overtone series adjusted to equal temperament, and Henricus Glareanus Dodecachordon (published some four centuries before George Russell took up a formal study of harmony).
However, not long after Glareanus' work, Gioseffo Zarlino undertook to re-prioritize the Church modes, moving the Ionian mode (major scale in today's terminology) from the eleventh place to the first.
Zarlino is believed the first to assert the m ajor/minor system most people have studied music theory under ever since.
