Live and act

Giovanni Maria Trabaci was a pupil of Giovanni de Macque (around 1550-1614), joined the chapel of the Santissima Casa dell'Annunziata church in Naples in 1594 as a singer and was also organist at the Oratorio dei Filippini. In 1601 he became organist and in 1614 Kapellmeister of the Royal Chapel of the Court of Naples. In the history of Italian organ music in the early 17th century, Trabaci is considered a representative of the typical Neapolitan canzon . Among other things, he published two volumes of works that were originally intended for keyboard instruments, but can be played in different instrumentations. His passions are an unusually independent contribution to this genre in its Latin form for the 17th century.
