Domenico Maria Melli

Melli was a composer, singer, and attorney who, in 1600, was singing at Reggio Emilia Cathedral. In the same calendar year he was most likely in Padua aswell having devoted his second reserve with an inscription offering this indication. Every one of the extant functions constructed by Melli had been monodies that have been very popular during his life; accordingly, he believed himself an amateur composer as the functions he composed weren’t arranged in virtually any rigorous type. His music qualitatively was diatonic and torpid in tranquility. Two interesting areas of his composiitons had been his usage of polarity between your melodic and bass lines, and, chromatic progressions that accentuatd particular phrases. Madrigals had been Melli’s predominant genre and his productions included around fifty nine music made up of solos, duets and dialogues.
