Giovanni Maria Trabaci
1575 to 1647
Neapolitan Baroque
Core repertoire

Born in Montepeloso (now Irsina), Giovanni Maria Trabaci was organist of the Oratorio dei Filippini in Naples, then from 1601 of the viceroy’s Royal Chapel, where he succeeded Giovanni de Macque as maestro di cappella in 1614 and remained until his death. His two keyboard books (1603 and 1615) contain ricercars, canzonas, toccatas, partitas and "durezze e ligature" pieces whose harmonic boldness influenced Frescobaldi.
