Simon Gintzler
Simon Gintzler (* around 1490 probably in South Tyrol ; † after 1550) was a lutenist and composer of the Renaissance .
life and work
Gintzler, presumably born in Tyrol, was court lutenist for the Cardinal-Prince-Bishop and administrator of Brixen , Cristoforo Madruzzo . Gintzler probably accompanied Madruzzo on his trips to Spain, the Netherlands, Flanders and Germany. Indications of a relationship with the German lute school are the inclusion of four movements by Gintzler in Hans Gerles Eyn Newes very artistic lute book… (1552) and the adaptation of a movement by Ludwig Senfl in his own print, Intabolatura de Lauto… (1547). These two books contain all of Gintzler's traditional works, including six Ricercari . In addition to Senfl, he also arranged vocal works by Jakob Arcadelt , Jachet de Mantua , Jacquet de Berchem , Josquin Desprez , a member of the Lupus family, Jean Mouton , Sandrin , Philippe Verdelot , Pierre de Villiers and Adrian Willaert - a total of 19 motets , six madrigals and six songs.
Gintzler used the Italian fingerprint. In his works he made extensive use of legato playing and used his own notation, in which he marked the endurance of certain notes by crosses.
