Gorzanis was a successful lute composer during the period 1560–1570. His manuscript (1567) in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek contains seven villanelle, four of which are not in the two books he had published in 1570 and 1571. A reconstruction from the tablature of one of these pieces is proposed as an example of a widespread performance practice.
