  Giovanni Croce - Definition, explanation
Croce wrote less music in the grand polychoral style than Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, and as a result his music has not maintained the same fame to the present day; however he was renowned as a composer at the time, and was a large influence on music both in Italy and abroad.
Croce was particularly important in the development of the canzonetta and the madrigal comedy, and wrote a large quantity of easily singable, popular, and often hilarious music.
Croce was one of the first composers to use the term capriccio, as a title for one of the canzonettas in his collection Triaca musicale (musical cure for animal bites) of 1595.

 Classical Net Review - Croce - Carnevale Veneziano
Giovanni Croce (1557-1609) was a popular composer in late 16.
This CD is built from two collections which were presumably written for Croce's own 'party group' in Venice of singers from St Mark's.
The apt interludes for plucked instruments, transcribed from guitar and gittern solos of the time, and some arranged from unusual trios by Giovanni Pacoloni, are well placed to break up the hectic sequences of ribald amusement.

  HOASM: The Venetian Style
The motets of Gioseffo Guami, who became Giovanni's colleague by succeeding Bell'Haver at the first organ in 1588, include a five-part In die tribulationis that opens with a point of imitation, in which all voices ascend a minor sixth chromatically; degree-inflection continues to play a role in the rest of this highly dramatic work.
A number of Masses by Croce --Donato's successors as maestro in 1603--which appeared from 1596 to 1599, indicate that he was the chief representative of the Missa brevis in Italy.
Monteverdi --succeeding Croce, in 1613, after the intervening incumbency of Martinengo--is the last of the maestri at St. Mark's belonging to the High Renaissance.

Under the tutelage at Venice of Gioseffo Zarlino, Croce became one of the most noted composers of the Venetian School.
On the death of Baltazzaro Donati, 13 July, 1603, Croce became his successor as choirmaster.

 Benedetto Croce
Croce deeply influenced aesthetic thought in the first half of the 20th century, including Robin C. Collingwood's Principles of Art (1934) and John Dewey's Art as Experience (1934), although in the latter the philosophical background is totally different.
Croce believed in intuition as the main source of artistic creation - art is based on intuition which exists before it is apprehended by an individual artist.
According to Croce, poetry is emotion, an expression of the soul at the moment of intuition.

 I Fagiolini - Carnevale Veneziano
Croce's Mascarate piacevoli et ridicolose per il carnevale (Delightful, Comic Masquerades for Carnival, 1590) and Triaca musicale (A Musical Cure-All, 1595) were sung in costumes and masks for theatrical or private entertainments during the carnival season.
The setting for Croce's Masquerade of the Friulians is identified in its fourteenth line as the Campo delle gatte (Square of the Papal Legates), and, at the time these masquerades were composed, the official residence for these ambassadors of the pope was the Venetian Grand Priory of the Knights of St.John.
Croce's Masquerade of the Women of Burano depicts noble nuns hawking the lace wares made in their convent.

Giovanni probably left Munich in 1579 on the death of Duke Albrecht.
Giovanni Gabrieli’s time spent as a colleague of his uncle was short, as his uncle died a year after his appointment.
But Giovanni’s genius was to fully realise the potential of this spatial technique and to carry it even further than his uncle.

 17 May 2003 - Silver Season Gala Concert
Among them were: the Gabrieli's, Andrea and Giovanni; Gioseffo Zarlino, a theorist and the first to give documented prominence to the "major"-sounding Ionian mode; and Croce, one of Zarlino's students, who became choirmaster at Saint Mark's in 1603.
The exuberance and fanfare of the Croce are followed by the "soft stillness" and "sweetest touches" of "Serenade to Music" by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958).
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594) was born in the small town in Italy from which he took his name.

Croce can be considered a formulator of the sacred cantata though it did not come to full fruition in his works.
Qualitatively his compositions can be compared with Morley -- who was probably influenced by him -- and his contemporary Gabrieli.
Croce did appeal to the use of double choirs and in the use thereof employed responsorial choruses to occasional solo voices (the nascent cantata).

 Padre Pio The Man -  San Giovanni
It was so-named after San Giovanni (Saint John) who the Pirgians (before Janus's followers), once Christianised, had chosen as their Patron, and after the shape of the little temple which they had been devoted to him - "Rotondo" (Round).
According to the most recent archaeological findings in the "Santa Croce" area, the first inhabited nucleus of San Giovanni Rotondo could be dated about 5000 years ago, on the top of San Croce, where a hamlet may have existed but was buried by several floods later on.
Jesus, in a vision, told Padre Pio that he should stay in San Giovanni and the provincial father gave him his approval on August 4, 1916.

 FLUXEUROPA: I FAGIOLINI
I Fagiolini - a leading Early Music ensemble directed by Robert Hollingworth - perform two sets of comic carnival masquerades by the Venetian composer, Giovanni Croce (1557-1609): 'Mascarate piacevoli et ridicolose per il carnevale' (1590) and 'Triaca Musicale' (1595).
Croce was a singer at the Basilica of St Mark, the private chapel of the Duke of Venice, but was also author of secular music and a director of popular entertainment.
The masquerades were performed in costumes and masks, probably as banquet entertainment or insertions into theatrical productions, and were full of wit and satire.
