Biagio Pesciolini Explained

Biagio Pesciolini (Prato 1535 - 1611) was an Italian composer. He was maestro di cappella of the Cathedral of Volterra in 1563, and then nine years later became canon and maestro di cappella at Prato.[1] [2]

Lodovico Zacconi's Prattica di Musica (1592, Venice) presents a 40-voice canonic motet by Pesciolini composed in 1590 for the baptism of the future Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo II de' Medici.

Bernstein Music Printing in Renaissance Venice: The Scotto Press 1998 Page 627 Pesciolini, Primo libro di madrigali a 5 & 6 P1535 (1563) The title page informs us that Biagio Pesciolini, a native of Prato, was maestro di cappella of the Cathedral of Volterra in 1563. His dedication to Monsignor Pierfrancesco Ricci, provost of the provostry of Prato, seems to have paid off in acquiring a position in his native town
