Antonio Caprioli (composer)
Antonio Caprioli , also Antonio Capreoli , (* around 1470 in Brescia ; † in the 16th century; effective between 1504 and 1514) was an Italian composer of the Renaissance. Caprioli initially composed numerous terry cloths , simple four-part song forms, and then developed this genre further in the direction of the madrigal .
life and work
Very little is known about Caprioli's life, almost nothing about the end of his life. In Ottaviano dei Petrucci's Frottole edition he is named Antonius Capreolus Brixiensis , Antonius Capriolus , Ant. Cap. or simply addressed as AC . Caprioli was probably still active as a composer in 1514 when his Villotta , his four-part dance song E d'un bel matin d'amore, appeared in Petrucci's eleventh frottole print.
Caprioli was a proven counterpoint artist . In general he worked out the three lower voices intended for instruments more freely and more polyphonically than was usual in frottola. With the Kanzone Non si vedrà for a declamatory voice and instrumental accompaniment (Lib. VII) and the early Villotta after Volksweise e d'un bel matin d'amore forced Caprioli developing the Frottola to Madrigal.
