Tiburtio Massaino

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tiburtio Massaino (also Massaini) (* before 1550 in Cremona ; † after 1608 in Piacenza or Lodi (Lombardy) ) was an Italian composer and founder of the Salzburg court orchestra .

Life

Massaino was an Augustinian monk in Piacenza . In 1571 he became maestro di cappella of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome . Further stations were Modena (1578), Lodi (1580) and Salò (1587), he was probably also in Constantinople . At the end of the 1580s he became a singer and conductor at the court of Archduke Ferdinand II . Around 1590 he was appointed Kapellmeister to Salzburg by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau . In 1591 Massaino was prosecuted and sentenced, and after a brief imprisonment in a fortress, he had to leave the archbishopric of Salzburg within three days. He went to Prague , where he met Philippe de Monte ; the hoped-for employment at court did not materialize there.

In 1594 he went back to Italy, where he worked again in Cremona, Piacenza and Lodi. According to Adriano Banchieri , he was still maestro di cappella in Piacenza in 1609 .
