about
Giacomo Abbiati (born in the 2nd half of the 16th century in Reggio , died after 1631) was an Italian violinist and composer. Abbiati came to Poland (where he is known as Iacobus de Abbatis) in the second half of the 1690s to join the royal court band of Sigismund III Vasa. He stayed there until 1631. His composing work is as little known as his biography. Only one collection of his works has survived to our times - Melodie sacrae (Krakow 1604), where they have also been preserved in a rudimentary state (only voices C, A, T - I chori). The only fully known composition by Abbiati is the eight-part motet Ego sum pastor bonus . User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
