Gabriel
In the Bible, one of the archangels. In the Old Testament he was the heavenly messenger sent to explain Daniel's visions, and in the New Testament he revealed to Zechariah the coming birth of John the Baptist and appeared to Mary in the Annunciation to tell her she was to be the mother of Jesus. In Christian tradition it is believed that he will blow the trumpet on Judgment Day. In the Quran, he is known as Jibril.
Amer. slave who planned the first slave rebellion in U.S. history. Born near Richmond, Va., to an African-born mother, he grew up as the slave of Thomas H. Prosser. In 1800 the deeply religious Gabriel planned a slave insurrection to create an independent slave state in Virginia with himself as king. Intending to attack Richmond and kill all whites except Frenchmen, Methodists, and Quakers, he assembled 1,000 slaves outside the city on August 30, but a violent rainstorm washed out bridges and scattered the rebels. Before they could reassemble, Gov. J. Monroe learned of the plot and ordered out the state militia. Gabriel and 34 others were arrested, tried, and hanged.

Gabrieli
Italian composers. Andrea was born in Venice, worked at the Bavarian court, and in 1566 became an organist at St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, where he remained the rest of his life. He wrote over 200 madrigals and much other secular vocal music. His sacred vocal works, which number over 150, include many splendid settings for church festivals employing separated choirs (cori spezzati); many were published posthumously in a collection called Concerti (1587). His nephew and student Giovanni joined him as organist at St. Mark's in 1584. Like Andrea, he wrote numerous festive works for separated choirs and instrumental groups. His best-known works today are his works for instruments, especially wind instruments (canzonas, ricercars, sonatas, ...
