Music Notes: Giovanni Croce was born in Chioggia, Italy, around 1557, and died in Venice in 1609. He studied with Zarlino, the Maestro di Capella at St. Mark’s Venice, and a notable theorist of 16th century counterpoint. Zarlino evidently found him as a chorister in the cathedral choir in Chioggia, and recruited him for St. Mark’s. Croce went on to compose much attractive music which is well-shaped, tuneful and lively, of which the five voice Missa Prima sexti toni is a good example of his buoyant style. It also demonstrates the influence of the reforms of the Council of Trent, which laid emphasis on the audibility of the words, rather than their being obscured by contrapuntal textures.
