ANNIBALE PADOVANO. - Musician, b. in Padua in 1527, d. in Graz in 1575. From 1552 he was organist of the second organ at St. Mark's in Venice, and from 1566 organist and from 1570 choirmaster at the court of Archduke Charles in Graz. His vocal compositions include a book of 5-voice madrigals (Venice 1564), of 5-voice masses (ibid. 1573), of 5- and 6-voice motets (ibid. 1567); his instrumental ones, a book of 5-voice ricercari (ibid. 1556) and one of toccatas and ricercari (ibid. 1604). A. is one of the most significant representatives of the sixteenth-century instrumental style, as it came to be formed and established in the Venetian artistic milieu, dominated by the major figures of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli.
