Who was Giovanni Battista Grillo?
Giovanni Battista Grillo was an Italian composer and organist.
Little is known about Grillo until he was elected organist to the Venetian confraternity 'Scuola Grande di S Rocco' on 28 August 1612. In addition he was appointed first organist of San Marco on 30 December 1619. He died in Venice.
His music follows Giovanni Gabrieli, especially his Sacri concentus ac symphoniae which includes vocal canzonas up to 12 parts, using cori spezzati. He is also known for three instrumental canzonas published in Raveri's collection Canzoni per sonare con ogni sorte di stromenti.
