Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Luca Marenzio (1553-1599)
Bio
Marenzio was likely born near Brescia. He sang at Rome in the employ of a few Cardinals while composing madrigals. His prowess as a composer and lutenist grew and he was hired by Ferdinando I de' Medici in Florence for a spell and then returned to Rome and had an apartment in the Vatican. His final patron was Sigismund III Vasa, King of Poland.
