Galeazzo Sabbatini
Galeazzo Sabbatini (1597–1662) was an Italian composer and music theorist, born in Pesaro, Italy.
Sabbatini studied with Vincenzo Pellegrini, a canon who worked at the local cathedral as musician. He was elected to succeed Pellegrini in 1626 and in 1641. From 1630 to 1639 he was chapel master (maestro di cappella) to the Duke of Mirandola.
Galeazzo's most notable contributions to music theory include a treatise on continuo playing, published in 1628, and a method for tuning. As a composer, he was less known, with most of his compositions consisting of motets and madrigals.
