Scipione Dentice
Scipione Dentice (born January 29, 1560 in Naples , † April 21, 1633 ibid) was an Italian church musician and composer .
Scipio Dentice was largely related to Fabrizio Dentice ; he certainly came from a branch of the same Dentice family. In the 1590s he worked in Rome as a composer and church musician. He returned to his hometown of Naples around 1598.
He created quite a lot of polyphonic vocal music, including several books of madrigals and a book of motets (around 1595).
In 1609 Scipione Dentice was canon of the Cathedral of Naples. In 1629 he published a collection of five-part sacred madrigals, which he dedicated to Cardinal Francesco Buoncompagno , Archbishop of Naples .
