| Ajoutée par magataganm, 15 Jui 2020 Amante Franzoni (1605 - 1630) was an Italian baroque composer however, little is know of his life. He was born in Mantua in 1575. Records are scarce and incomplete and do not show where and with whom he completed his musical studies however, he was a member of the Olympic Academy and belonged to the Order of the servants of Mary. We do know, however, that around 1611 he moved away from his city to fill the post of chapel master in the cathedral of Forlì. Returning to Mantua, he was at the service of the Gonzaga family as master of the ducal chapel of S. Barbara, where he has been active since 1610 (Barblan, p. XXIV n. 1), from 12 October. 1612 until January 1630. His activity in S. Barbara underwent, with all certainty, an interruption of about seven months, between October 1627 and May 1628, a period during which he was replaced by Gregorio Anerio. He was a friend of Don Francesco Dognazzi, another musician in the service of the Gonzaga, who took care to publish some of his compositions, including the first book of madrigals for three voices and the second book of the musical foils to 3 items (both printed in Venice by R. Amadino, in 1608 and 1607 respectively). There is no record of Amante Franzoni after 1630. Pietro Canal remembers Franzoni as one of the "... musicians servants of the sermo Duke of Mantua, who worked for the collection of Mottetti with one, two, three and four voices, dedicated to the same Duke by Federico Malgarini as well as servant and musician of said Height "(printed in Venice, Vincenti, 1618). Amante Franzoni was a rather prolific composer, but his liturgical repertoire is not on the whole so noteworthy, except for the interesting practice of introducing some free instrumental parts into the mass. In this regard, he uses the term "symphony" to indicate short-lived instrumental compositions that were to be performed alternately with the sung parts of the mass. In the musical apparatus of masses, symphonies, songs, motets and lethargy of the Blessed Virgin, Op. 5, lib. I (Venice 1613) inserts two 8-part "symphonies" for the offertory, one "symphony" at the Sanctus, and one last at the Agnus, both with 4 voices, thus showing sensitivity to the new trends that were emerging within the liturgy of the mass. The very environment in which Franzoni found himself operating was full of innovative ferments, and not only with regard to sacred music. Mantua del Franzoni was also one of the major centers of secular musical activity. In this context, he showed to be affected more than any of his contemporaries by the influence of Claudio Monteverdi, especially of the musical satire. The use he made of the "false drone" in some passages of Here the dewy dawn and Si rid'Amor, both collected in the second book of the musical Fioretti(Venice 1607), clearly reveals the influence of Monteverdi, as well as of Ludovico Grossi from Viadana. In the same collection, moreover, Franzoni inserted a song by Monteverdi, Prima vedrò . Among the compositions of Franzoni, in addition to those mentioned, we mention: The new 3-part musical florets, Venice, Amadino, 1605; The second book of the 3-part musical foils, ibid., Id., 1607; The first 3-part book of madrigals, ibid., Id., 1608; Ecclesiastical concerts with 1, 2, 3 voices, ibid. 1611; Qual hora in senti miro, 1 voice, and basso continuo, ibid., Amadino, 1613; Masses and letharies of the Blessed Virgin with 8 voices, lib. II, Mantua 1614; The third book of the 3-part musical foils with some arias, Venice 1617; 4-voice Audi Domine with basso continuo, in Franzoni Malgarini, Motets with 1, 2, 3, 4 voices with basso continuo for the organ, ibid., Vincenti, 1618; Sacra omnium solemnitatum vespertina psalmodia, ibid., Id., 1619; Masses with 5 voices on bass for those who want to use them, Op. 10, ibid., Magni, 1623..
