1of Gerami, who was organist of the Cathedral of Lucca, and later of S. Marco in Venice. Banchieri was first organist of Sta. Maria in Regola, Imola, and in 1603 of S. Michele in Bosco, near Bologna. He wrote church and dramatic music, and intermedj for comedies, such as La pazzia senile, etc. (Venice, 1598, reprinted at Cologne); its pendant, La prudenza giovenile, which he entitled Comedia in musica (Milan, 1607); La barca di Venezia a Padua (Venice, 1623); and La fida fanciulla, etc. (Bologna, 1628, 1629). His canzonette for four and three voices are dated 1595, 1596, 1597, 1598; and his madrigals for three and four voices 1593, 1594, 1600, 1602, 1623. Besides these he had many collections of motets, concertos, and masses. His 7th work is Fantasie e psalmi, canzone alla francese (1603). Of his theoretical works his first, "Conclusioni per organo," appeared at Lucca in 1591; his most important, "L' Organo suonarino" (Venice, 1605), contained the first precise rules for accompanying from a figured bass (published separately by Lomazzo at Milan); in the "Moderna practica musicale" (Venice, 1613), he suggests alterations in the basso continuo in consequence of its influence on the ornaments in singing. Another book, the "Cartella Musicale" (1614), contains a project for founding an academy of science and art at his monastery at Bologna. Banchieri wrote comedies under the name of Camillo Scaligeri della fratta.—Grove; Férits; Gerber, N. Lex.; Schilling. one of two readings
