Vincenzo Ugolini

Vincenzo Ugolini (* around 1580 in Perugia ; † May 6, 1638 in Rome ) was an Italian conductor and composer .

Life

Vincenzo Ugolini received his musical training in Rome from the brothers Giovanni Maria and Giovanni Bernardino Nanino at San Luigi dei Francesi and then worked as Kapellmeister at various churches in Rome, where he worked in the same position at the Cathedral of Benevento between 1603 and 1615 . From 1616 he was Kapellmeister at S. Luigi and from 1621 he was director of the Cappella Giulia at St. Peter's Basilica. In 1626 he had to retire from this position for health reasons, but from 1631 he was again Kapellmeister to S. Luigi until his death, his successor was Orazio Benevoli . Along with Antonio Cifra , Virgilio Mazzocchi and Giacomo Carissimi , Ugolini was one of the most important band masters in Rome in the early 17th century.

Works

Ugolini created masses , madrigals , motets and other vocal works, some in eight- and twelve-part setting, whereby he is recognizable in the tradition of Palestrina . On the other hand, the beginnings of the “ style nuovo ”, the figured bass age, are already recognizable in many of his works . Ugolini designed his motets according to the concertato style, which has been popular since its inception, as was first used in Viadana's “Cento concerti Ecclesiastici ” of 1602.
