Hello! I'm a Renaissance composer. I was born in Italy, in a town near Rome called Palestrina. I was born in 1525 and lived almost seventy years!

I really liked to compose religious music and POLYPHONIC vocal music specially MOTETS.

My favourite piece of mine is Missa Papae Marcelli (Pope Marcellus Mass). Do you want to hear a little bit about it

AUDITION: BELLE QUI TIENS MA VIE

THE AUTHOR: Thoinot Arbeau is the artistic name of French cleric Jehan Tabourot (1519 -1595). Tabourot is most famous for hisOrchésographie, a study of late sixteenth-century French Renaissance social dance

THE PIECE: This piece is a Pavane, a slow dance of the XVI century. Is a polyphonic vocal piece of four parts.

In this version we can hear a singer making all the different parts. Once the original version is heard he starts a jazz version of the song that is really fun!

INSTRUMENT: THE LUTE

The lute is like a present-day guitar but has 12 strings tuned in pairs.

The body had a pear-shaped sound box with the neck bent back .

It was used as a solo instrument and to accompany singers.
