Grancini composed religious music almost exclusively, both in 'stile antico' and 'stile moderno'. His vocal writing reflected the seventeenth century, with Monteverdian derivations. His instrumental music shows the characteristics of the sixteenth-century sonata, joining it to the Gabrieli tradition. LegacyIesuè wrote (trans. from Italian:[1] {{Quote|text=The birth date of this organist and composer is deduced as 1605 on the basis of Picinelli's statement: "at the age of 17 [...] he began to publish his works.” His first work was published in 1622, when he was already an organist in the church of S. Maria del Paradiso, a well-to-do parish of the old centre of Milan. Nothing is known about his early education but it is likely he was a pupil of Milanese composer Giovanni Domenico Rognoni Taeggio.In 1624 he moved to the church of S. Sepolcro as an organist, where he remained until 1628-29, when he was employed as organist in the church of S. Ambrogio. On 29 Dec. 1630 he was elected organist at the cathedral with an annual salary of 800 lire imperial. At the death of Antonio Maria Turati (1650), he was appointed master of the chapel of the cathedral with a salary of ₤1500, which then increased to ₤1800. The chapel's staff included the chaplain master, his deputy and twenty singers, of which eight were sopranos. This was the main ensemble that would perform the music Grancini composed in the following years. In this position, Grancini assumed the status of Milan's main composer for major political and civic events. In the motet for four choirs Gaudia intonet coelum, the reference to the Pyrénées peace (7 November 1659), which ended the long war between France and Spain, seems clear. The motet Gratulamini, o proceres was dedicated to the crowning of Emperor Leopold I. The motet Arcete merores, fugate languores was composed for the birth of the second-born Prince of Spain.|sign=|source=}} 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.”{{Sfn|Biella|1958|p=82}} Grancini died in Milan on 17 April. 1669.
