Emilio de' Cavalieri (jan 1, 1550 – jan 1, 1602)
Description:
an Italian composer, producer, organist, diplomat, choreographer and dancer at the end of the Renaissance era.Cavalieri’s Rappresentatione di Anima, et di Corpo (1600) included solo music that we would recognize as recitative. It included figured bass and is a great example of monody, which refers to a solo vocal style distinguished by having a single melodic line and instrumental accompaniment. Although such music is found in various cultures throughout history, the term is specifically applied to Italian song of the early 17th century, particularly the period from about 1600 to 1640.
