Girolamo Giacobbi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Girolamo Giacobbi (Giacobi) ( also Geronimo de Jacob, Hieronymus Jacobus or Jacobbi) (* and baptized on August 10, 1567 in Bologna ; † February 1629 there ) was an Italian cantor , conductor and composer .

Life

Giacobbi's parents were Bartolomeo and Virginia Accarisi. By joining the group of clergy at the Cathedral of San Petronimo, he received training in grammar and singing. On January 30, 1581 he appears in the lists of the church administration of San Petronio as Geronimino de Jacob . As a cleric who supports the soprano and alto voices of the choir, receives an additional annual remuneration. In 1584 he began dual spiritual and musical training and was officially registered as a regular singer in the cathedral choir of San Petronio. In 1589 he was ordained a priest. In 1594 he became the promagister of Kapellmeister Andrea Rota to support the management of the instrumental and vocal ensembles. A task that he held after Rota's death in 1598 under his successor Pompilio Pisarelli .

In 1604 Giacobbi himself became Kapellmeister at San Petronio and retained the office until his death in 1629. The assumption of this office by Giacobbi was a historic step for the music at San Petronio, as he enlarged the ensembles, and a printed set of rules for the liturgical and musical Processes at the cathedral published.

In Bologna, Giacobbi made the first experiments with dramatic music in the style of the Florence operas. He composed L'Aurora ingannata for a text by the poet Ridolfo Campeggi .

In 1622 he founded the "Accademia dei Filomusi" in Bologna, after the " Accademia Filarmonica " the second academy in his native city, which was dedicated to music care. He died in Bologna in February 1629 at the age of 61.
