Short bio Giorgio Mainerio
Full biography Giorgio Mainerio
Giorgio Mainerio was an Italian musician, composer, and occultist who lived during the Renaissance period. Although his exact birthdate is not known, it is believed that he was born in the 1530s, and he passed away on May 3 or 4, 1582. He is known for his work in the field of secular dance music, and many of his compositions were included in the collection of Italian dances known as Il Primo Libro de Balli.
Mainerio began his career as a presbyter in the Catholic Church but later left the church to focus on his musical and occult pursuits. He is often referred to as a "priest-composer" because of his dual role in both the church and the world of music.
Mainerio's compositions were highly regarded during his lifetime, and he was known for his skill in creating dance music in various styles, including the pavane, galliard, and saltarello. His music was often included in "music books" or collections of dance pieces that were popular in Renaissance Europe.
Today, Mainerio is considered an important figure in the history of Renaissance music, and his compositions are still performed and studied by musicians and scholars around the world.
