Ferdinando di Lasso

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ferdinando di Lasso (* 1560 in Munich ; † 1609 ibid) was a German composer of the High Renaissance .

Ferdinando di Lasso was born in 1560 to Orlando di Lasso and his wife Regina (Wäckinger). He probably completed his musical training in his father's house, after all Orlando was the teacher of famous composers such as Giovanni Gabrieli and Ivo de Vento . He was integrated into the Munich court orchestra early on, and was employed as a full member in 1583. After his temporary service (1585–1590) with Count Eitel Friedrich IV. Von Hohenzollern-Hechingen , he returned to Munich to work in the smaller court orchestra as a "tenorist" and then in 1602 as its director. The heyday of the chapel was over, because Duke Wilhelm V only ordered church service, which explains the large number of his sacred compositions. He died after a long illness in 1609 at the age of 49. He had a son Ferdinando di Lasso , thus a grandson of Orlando's, who was Kapellmeister at the Duke's court in Munich from 1616 to 1629. He also composed and died in Reischach in 1636.
