Friends in High Places
Donald Macleod looks at the influence of Gabrieli's numerous patrons and wealthy friends on his music.
For the son of a humble linen weaver, Gabrieli achieved extraordinary acclaim and success in his native Venice. This was due not only to his extraordinary musical abilities, but also to his great skill in satisfying the demands of wealthy patrons and cultivating friendships with some of Venice's wealthy mercantile class. Donald Macleod continues his account of Gabrieli's life and music, looking today at the influence of patrons on some of the composer's works.
