  Cristofano Malvezzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cristofano Malvezzi (baptised June 28, 1547 – January 22, 1599) was an Italian organist and composer of the late Renaissance.
He was one of the most famous composers in the city of Florence during a time of transition to the Baroque style.
Malvezzi's brother Alberigo (around 1550–1615) was also an organist and composer.

As the organist of Saint Trinita in 1562 Malvezzi later acceded to the position of master of the chapel for the Cathedral of Florence and Saint Giovanni Battista in 1573.
The ricercares are illustrative of Malvezzi's skills in counterpoint and these compositions employed the use of themes in inversions, diminutions and augmentations.
Malvezzi also composed music for the "intermedi" in Florence to be performed between the acts of plays.

 Jacopo Peri
He wrote the first work to be called an opera today, Dafne (around 1597), and also the first opera to have survived to the present day, Euridice (1600).
Peri was probably born in Rome, but studied in Florence with Cristofano Malvezzi[?], and went on to work in a number of churches there.
He subsequently began to work in the Medici court, first as a tenor singer and keyboard player, and later as a composer.

He moved to Florence while still young, studied with Cristofano Malvezzi, and was appointed organist at the Badia (1579) and singer at S. Giovanni Battista (1586); he probably participated in discussions of the "Camerata" during the 1580s at Bardi's house.
In 1583 he worked with Malvezzi and others in composing music (no longer extant) to Fedini's comedy Le due Pervilie,and performed his own aria in the fifth intermedio for Bargagli's comedy La pellegrinain 1589.
In addition to unprepared dissonances and unusual harmonic progressions, the continuous recitatives are noteworthy for their imitations of vocal rhythms and pitch inflections, with an accompaniment that closely follows the principal words of the text.

He then studied with Cristofano Malvezzi, the maestro di cappella of the cathedral and the dominant musician in Florence at the time.
From Malvezzi, Peri learned the art of counterpoint and composition, and in turn, Malvezzi included one of Peri's vicecares and one of his madrigals in his own publication.
Sometime before 1579, Peri was appointed to the position of organist at the Badia, and by 1583 he, along with Malvezzi, Alessandro, Striggio and more, had contributed to the intermedi of Giovanni Ferdini's comedy La due persile.

 La Pellegrina: Intermedii et Concerti (1589)
This series of musical scenes, originally designed as "intermedios" or intermissions to a stage drama must be seen as one of most important immediate precursors to opera.
The score was published in 1591 by Cristofano Malvezzi, including several notes on instrumentation.
The present interpretation emphasizes this proto-Baroque aspect in the overal conception, although pieces by composers such as Marenzio continue to be in what might be called the Renaissance madrigal style.
