Marc’ Antonio Ingegneri

Marc’ Antonio Ingegneri [een-jeh-NYEER-ee] was among the leading north Italian madrigal composers toward the finish from the Renaissance era in music. His family members background is hard to ascertain; they could have started in Venice, produced fairly most likely since his mom experienced the well-known Venetian family members name of Foscari, and there is also an Ingegneri family members in Venice. Marc’ Antonio was a choir son at Verona Cathedral and for that reason was probably students from the maestro di cappella there, Vincenzo Ruffo. The commitment of 1 of Ingegneri’s madrigal books stated he individually received his tuition from Cipriano de Rore, an excellent composer who resided and taught in Parma. Ingegneri’s 1st publication, First Publication of Madrigals for Four Voices, (1573, which survives just inside a 1578 reprint) stated he previously been surviving in Cremona for 3 years in the services of its dedicatee. Inside a 1576 publication, he stated he’s a prefect of music at Cremona Cathedral. The 1st independent proof that is his appearance within a making it through cathedral account reserve from 1578. An identical source demonstrates, by 1579, he was getting the pay from the maestro di cappella from the cathedral. He happened in high respect from the chapel leaders and produced friends having a reforming bishop called Nicolo Sfondrato, who became Pope Gregory XIV. Ingegneri wedded in 1581 and from then on rented a residence, which he may afford to accomplish because he had not been just well-paid, but regularly received bonus deals for effort. He was also favored by his music artists and performers. Despite his chapel connection, he made up sacred and secular music in only about similar measure. His sacred motets are polyphonic, displaying little identification using the counter-reformationist demand the care be studied to help make the terms audible. His people, nevertheless, are homophonic (i.e., melody with chords) for his or her predominant consistency and again, uncommon in the counter-reformation period, are occasionally predicated on secular well-known music material, like the music “Susanne el jour.” His best-known sacred function is a couple of 27 Responsories for Holy Week, which for a long period were regarded as the task of the fantastic Palestrina. His madrigals obtained lasting popularity despite the fact that the style isn’t as current as additional music being released at that time. His most well-known pupil was Claudio Monteverdi, whose early music displays Ingegneri’s influence in the way where he uses musical patterns.
