A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Antiquis, Giovanni d'

by Mary Catherine Hamilton

ANTIQUIS, Giovanni d', lived in the second half of the 16th century; director of music in the church of St. Nicholas at Bari in the kingdom of Naples, and author of two collections—'Villanelle alla Napolitana, a tre voci, di diversi musici di Bari' (Venice, 1574), and 'Il primo libro di canzonette a due voci, da diversi autori di Bari' (Venice, 1584)—of the works of local composers, 24 in all, few if any of whom are known elsewhere. The list will be found in Fétis, and a copy of the first of the two collections is in the Munich Library.
