Bartolomeo Tromboncino
Bartolomeo Tromboncino (* around 1470 in Verona , † after 1535 in Venice ) was an Italian composer of the Renaissance .
Life
There is little evidence of Tromboncino's life. His father, Bernardino Pifaro, was a musician in Venice and Mantua . He himself lived in Mantua at the court of the Gonzaga from 1487 to 1495 , when Isabella d'Este gathered important writers and artists there as a patron. After stays in Vicenza and Casale, he can be traced back to Mantua from 1501 to 1512. Then he was also in the service of the Medici in Florence. His last residence was Venice, where he died after 1535.
Work and works
Tromboncino was one of the most important masters of Frottole , which he composed in large numbers (three and four parts , as well as one part with lute or organ accompaniment). Furthermore nine four-part Lamentationes Jeremiae , four-part Lauden and one Benedictus have been preserved. Tromboncino is known to set a sonnet by Michelangelo to music in Florence . With the music for the comedy Asinaria by Titus Maccius Plautus , he also created one of the earliest stage music in Italy in 1502 .
