3which they both shared, is alone an indication of that similarity. The saint's admiration of Animuccia may be gauged by his ecstatic declaration that he had seen the soul of his friend fly upwards towards heaven.
5Animuccia composed the famous 'Laudi,' which were sung at the Oratorio of S. Filippo after the conclusion of the regular office, and out of the dramatic tone and tendency of which the 'Oratorio' is said to have been developed.
7Some of the 'Laudi' were published in 1563 (Dorico), 1570 (Blado); a first book of masses appeared in 1567, a Magnificat in 1568, and madrigals in 1547, 1551, 1554 and 1565. Martini inserted two of his Agnus in his 'Esemplare'—also reprinted by Choron, Principes, vol. v. Two movements from the 4-part Mass, 'Conditor alme siderum,' part of a Magnificat, and a madrigal in 5 parts, are in the first volume of Torchi's 'L'arte musicale in Italia.' But the bulk of his compositions is probably in MS.; many are in the library of the Sistine Chapel.
9Of the rapidity with which he wrote some proof is afforded by an extract quoted both by Biani and Fétis from the Vatican Archives. It is an order to the paymaster of the Chapter to pay Animuccia 25 scudi for 14 hymns, 4 motetti, and 3 masses, all of which are shown in the order itself to have been composed in less than five months.
11(2) PAOLO (d. Rome, 1563!) was made maestro at the Lateran on the removal of Rubino to the Vatican in 1550, and held the post till 1552, when he was succeeded by Lupacchini. Pitoni insists that he remained at the Lateran from 1550–55; but the 'Libri Censuali' are against him. Biani, however, hints that it is possible that he may have occupied the post a second time temporarily in 1555, just before the election of Palestrina, and that this may have misled Pitoni. He left but little printed music behind him. Madrigals of his appear in many of the miscellaneous collections published between 1551 and 1611. (See Dr. Emil Vogel's Bibl. weltl. Vocalmus. Italiens.) There is a motet of his in a Collection of Motetti published at Venice in 1568; and Barrè of Milan published 3 of his madrigals in a miscellaneous volume in 1558.
13ANJOS, FR. DINIZ DOS (b. Lisbon; d. Belem, Jan. 19, 1709), a Portuguese harpist and player on the viola da gamba, who entered the monastery of Belem in 1656. His compositions, including psalms, responsoria, masses and motets, are said to be preserved at Belem.
15ANNA, FRANCIS (end of 15th and early 16th cent.). In the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 8th book of Frottole (Petrucci, 1504–8), he calls himself 'Franciscus Venetus organista,' and on the title-page of another book of songs for voice and lute, containing also 26 Ricercari ('Tenori et contrabassi intabulati') (Petrucci, 1509), he appears as 'Franciscus Bossinensis,' which Eitner translates as 'from Bosnia.' A lamentatio a 4 v. appears in Petrucci's book, 'Lamentationum Jeremiae propheto liber primus.' Fétis maintains that the real name of this interesting composer is Anna, but gives no authority.
17ANNIBALE, called ANNIBALE PADOVANO (b. Padua, c. 1527; d. circa 1600), a famous contrapuntist of the 16th century. From 1552–66 he was organist of St. Mark's, Venice, and after the latter year he became Kapellmeister to the Austrian Archduko Carl at Gratz. He was still in that position in 1573. A book of vocal 'ricercari' (4 parts) was published in Venice, 1556, a volume of madrigals (5 parts) in 1564 by (iardano, a book of motets (5 and 6 parts) in 1567, a volume of masses in 5 parts in 1573, and 'Toccate e ricercari' for organ in 1604. Madrigals by him appear in many of the miscellaneous collections (see Vogel, Bibl. weltl. Vocalmus. Italiens), and motets by him in MS. collections are mentioned in Q.-L. one of two readings

20ANNIBALLI, DOMENICO (b. circa 1705; d. 1779), an Italian sopraniast who studied at Rome, sang at Venice, 1726, and went to Dresden, 1729. He remained at the court of Saxony until 1764, was engaged by Handel for his opera in London in the autumn of 1736, and made his début in 'Arminio.' He appeared next in 'Poro,' introducing three songs, not by Handel, which probably he had brought with him from Italy to display his particular powers—an example frequently followed since his day. He performed in the cantata 'Cecilia, volgi,' and sang the additional song, 'Sei del ciel,' interpolated by Handel between the first and second acts of 'Alexander's Feast.' In 1737 he performed the part of Justin in the same master's opera of that name, and that of Demetrio in his 'Berenice.' one of two readings

23ANNUNCIAÇÃO, FR. GABRIEL DA (b. Ovar, 1681; d. Lisbon, 1747), a Portuguese composer and member of the Franciscan order, which he entered in 1706. He held the post of Vigario do Côro in monasteries at Coimbra, Oporto and Lisbon. His compositions, all of which were for the Church, were destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755: a manual of plain-song, 'Arte de cantochão,' was printed at Lisbon in 1735.
25ANNUNCIAÇÃO, PHILIPPO DE, a Portuguese organist and monk in the monastery of Santa Cruz, Coimbra. In 1754 he published a set of 'Acompanhamentos para orgão de Hymnos, Missas. . . .'
