Cima, Giovanni Paolo
Cima, Giovanni Paolo, Italian organist and composer; b. Milan, c. 1570; d. after 1622. By 1609 he was organist at S. Celso in Milan. Publications of his works, including Concerti ecclesiastici and motets, appeared between 1599 and 1626. His Partito de Ricercari e Canzoni alla francese (Milan, 1606) is a keyboard collection with an appendix containing rules for tuning keyboard instruments. The canzoni alla francese of this collection are specially written for keyboard, and the ricercari are highly developed in their use of imitation.
