Fallamero, Gabriele


(b Alessandria; fl 1584). Italian composer and lutenist. The title-page of his only known work, Il primo libro de intavolatura da liuto, de motetti ricercate madrigali, et canzonette alla napolitana, a tre, et quattro voci (Venice, 158413; 2 pieces ed. O. Chilesotti, Lautenspieler des 16. Jahrhunderts, Leipzig, 1891/R), describes him as ‘gentilhuomo alessandrino’. The volume is dedicated to another member of the local nobility, Livia Guasca Pozza, ‘Signora mia osservandissima’. The book contains 46 pieces, more than half of which are arrangements in Italian lute tablature of madrigals and motets, including works by Monte, Lassus, Rore, Marenzio, Striggio and Vinci. The central section of the volume is devoted to a mostly lighter repertory in versions for voice and lute, including anonymous canzonette alla napolitana and pieces by Orazio Vecchi, Giovanni Ferretti, Giovanni Jacopo de Antiquis and Gasparo Fiorino.

Falle, Philip


(b Jersey, 14 Feb 1656; d Shenley, Herts., 7 May 1742). Channel Island churchman and amateur composer. He studied under Narcissus Marsh at Oxford, graduating in 1676. Ordained priest in 1679, he held various livings, enjoying the patronage of Lord Jermyn and becoming a chaplain to the king in 1694. Later he became a prebendary of Durham Cathedral (1700) and vicar of Shenley, near Barnet (1709). He wrote a history of Jersey and made important contributions to the life of the island, including a bequest of books to establish a public library in St Helier. His music books and manuscripts he left to Durham Cathedral. He wrote 15 anthems (14, GB-Lbl*, 1, DRc (inc.)), which are respectable amateur works, some with instrumental ritornellos, and a Fantasie and Passacaille for bass viol (DRc).

(b Buxton, 20 Dec 1945). English musicologist. He studied at Jesus College, Cambridge (BA 1967), King’s College, London (MMus 1968), and the University of California, Berkeley (PhD 1978). From 1968 to 1970 he was a musical assistant at the Studio der Frühen Musik, Munich, and between 1968 and 1974 performed extensively on commercial recordings of Renaissance music by Musica Reservata (London), Studio der Frühen Musik and as director of Musica Mundana (Berkeley). In 1973–4 he was lecturer at the University of Wisconsin, Madison; since 1976 he has taught at the University of Manchester (lecturer 1976–82, senior lecturer 1982–92, reader 1992–97, professor 1997). He has also taught at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (1982–3), the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris (1993), the University of Basle (1996) and the University of Vienna (1998). He has won the Dent Medal (1982), been appointed Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (1994) and elected Fellow of the British Academy (1997). He is vice-president of the IMS for the period 1997–2002 and chaired the programme committee for its 16th International Congress in London (1997) and a Corresponding Member of the AMS (1999). He is review editor of Early Music (1976–95, 1999–), was founding editor of the Royal Musical Association Monographs (1982–95) and has served on the editorial boards of Musica Britannica (from 1985), Early English Church Music (1994), Early Music History (1991) and the Basler Jahrbuch für historische Musikpraxis (1988).

Fallows is a leading scholar in the field of 15th-century music. His research has focussed on the song repertories of the 15th century, spreading to later and earlier songs, to sacred music, to documentary or biographical issues and to matters of performing practice. He pioneered new views on the lives of Ciconia, Regis and Josquin, and has made controversial contributions on the ensembles implied by the music. His writings include the standard monograph on the life and works of Du Fay (1982) and a detailed catalogue of the 15th-century polyphonic song repertory (1999). His most significant essays are collected in Songs and Musicians in the Fifteenth Century (1996). As a reviewer, his interests have extended over the whole field of Western music, including in particular opera and new music.
