Essay on Biography and Creativity
The nickname "Padovano" comes from the name of the city in which the composer was born ( Italian: Padovano Paduan). There is no information about his education. The heyday of Padovano's musical career is associated with Venice, where in 1552-65. he held the (extremely honorable) position of organist at the San Marco Cathedral of Venice and published his musical compositions (the first publication in 1556 is a book of reachercards ). In 1565 he moved to Graz , where he worked as an organist and (from 1570) bandmaster at the court of Archduke of Austria Charles II .
Padovano is known mainly for his works for organ. He is considered one of the creators of the Ricercar and Toccats . Five-voice madrigals were printed separately (1564) and as part of collections of secular music by various composers. Among the works for the church are collections of five-voice masses (1573), five- and six-voice motets (1567). To the marriage of the Bavarian Duke William V and Renata Lorraine (22.2.1568) Padovano composed lush music, from which the instrumental Aria della battaglia per sonar (published posthumously, in the collection of 1590) and Mass (not published) survived [6] . The peculiarity of the mass is that it was written for a grandiose composition - three eight-voice choirs (i.e., a total of 24 votes).
Perhaps Padovano also wrote music for the wedding of his patron Charles II and Maria of Bavaria , which took place on August 26, 1571 (the compositions were not preserved) [7] .
Reception
About Padovano enthusiastically (“mai abbastanza lodato”) spoke of in his book “Fronimo” (1584) by Vincenzo Galilei , with the addition of his own lute intubations of Padovano music. Padovano's works (printed collections and manuscripts) are stored mainly in German libraries.
