Giovanni Antonio Giay [Giai, Giaj, Giaji]
(Turin, 11 June 1690 - Turin, 10 September 1764)

Italian composer. Son of Stefano Giuseppe Giay, in 1700 he entered the Collegio degli Innocenti at the Turin Cathedral where he studied music with Francesco Fasoli. He probably then went to Rome to complete his studies. On his return to Turin he wrote 'Il trionfo d’Amore ossia La fillide', in collaboration with Andrea Stefano Fiorè, which was premiered at the Teatro Carignano in 1715. His own operas were performed over the next 35 years in Turin, Venice, Milan and Rome. After Fiorè died in 1732, he assumed the duties of maestro di cappella and was confirmed in the position by Carlo Emanuele III in a patent of 24 October 1738. In this capacity he directed the instrumental and vocal forces of the court and composed a large amount of church music. He held this position until his death and was succeeded by his son, Francesco Saverio Giay (1729-1801).
