Matteo Rampollini

The Primo libro de la musica di M. Rampollini (Lyon, c. 1554).

Matteo Rampollini (also Mattio Rampollini ) (* 1497 in Florence ; † around 1553 ) was an Italian composer of the Renaissance , which by its for the Medici composed madrigals known.

Life

Matteo Rampolini was probably born in Florence in 1497 as the son of the lawyer Jacopo Rampolini. He had a brother also named Jacopo.

Details about his youth and education are not known. From 1515 he worked as a singer at the Church of Basilica di San Lorenzo in the service of the Medici family . In 1520 he succeeded Bernardo Pisano as director of the boys' choir at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore de Florence and worked together with Philippe Verdelot in the Baptistery of San Giovanni there. During this time he may have been the tutor of Francesco Corteccia and has represented other singers in the cathedral and baptistery on various occasions.

From 1530, Rampolini was appointed chaplain to the Medici Chapel . Maybe the Medici showed their loyalty to Rampolini during their expulsion from Florence . Rampolini held this office until 1534. Apparently he was also allowed to compose music for the wedding of Cosimo I de 'Medici and Eleonora of Toledo in 1539, because two of his madrigals (Lieta per honorarte and Ecco la fida ) are in the banquet music edited by Antonio Gardano .

Apparently Rampolini remained active for the Medici all his life. Between 1547 and 1552 he apparently lived with his brother Jacopo in the Santa Croce neighborhood . Two sons of this brother also worked as musicians in Florence around the middle of the century. His latest surviving work, a collection of songs to texts by Francesco Petrarca , was published in Lyon in 1554 .

Works

Many of Rampollin's madrigals are now lost, especially those that were not intended for publication but for direct use at Medici festivities. During his lifetime, two madrigals were published in the mentioned wedding music from 1539. His only independent publication is the setting of Petrarch's poems ( Il Primo libro de la musica di M. Mattio Rampollini… sopra di alcune canzoni del divin poeta M. Francesco Petrarca . Edited by Jacques Moderne , Lyon, approx. 1554).

Further isolated compositions can be found in various collections from the second half of the 16th century.
