Iesuè wrote (translated from Italian): Biella (1957), in his
Eccellente compositore e organista milanese, praised Grancini as Milan's greatest seventeenth century musician. Grancini's characteristics are "the clarity and nobility of ideas exposed with a first-rate technique and, as a consequence, a persuasive and interesting logic. He is comparable with his contemporary
Giacomo Carissimi. Recitative is always fluid and vibrant, just as alive in the choral episodes and the ensembles he masterfully combines when he uses voices and instruments in counterpoint and fugal interplay of great esteem and beauty." Grancini died in Milan on 17 April 1669. == Selected works ==
