	Francesco Landini Summary
		Landini knew many of the other Italian composers of the Trecento, including Lorenzo da Firenze, with whom he was associated at Santa Trinità, as well as Andreas da Florentia, who he knew in the 1370s.
		Landini also helped build the new organ at SS Annunziata in 1379, and in 1387 he was involved in yet another organ-building project, this time at Florence Cathedral.
		Landini is the eponym of the Landini cadence (or Landino sixth), a cadential formula whereby the sixth degree of the scale (the submediant) is inserted between the leading note and its resolution on the tonic.

	ensemble Micrologus: Fior di dolceça, la discografia
		L’ingente produzione musicale di Francesco Landini (1325-1397), il musicista fiorentino più conosciuto dell’epoca, rappresenta circa un quarto della produzione musicale profana dell’Ars Nova italiana così come ci resta conservata in diversi codici e fogli.
		Landini trascorse la maggior parte della vita a Firenze dove, se pur legato all’ambiente religioso come organista e cappellano nella chiesa di San Lorenzo, ricevette e praticò l’arte musicale non disgiunta da un’educazione umanistica ampia ed eclettica.
		In ogni caso l’arte musicale di Landini fu caratterizzata da alcuni punti che in un certo senso furono un paradosso nel Trecento italiano, quasi un tradimento dell’Ars Nova nel toccare il suo apice:

	HOASM: Francesco Landini
		Italian composer and organist, blind from an early age, He was organist at S. Lorenzo in Florence between 1369 and 1396, and in 1379 was paid 9 solidi for writing five motets--an extremely rare record of payment to a composer.
		Landini was the most celebrated musical personality of the trecento; his 155-odd extant works are nearly all ballate, in which he excelled.
		He was a brilliant player of several instruments, especially the portative organ, and at the same time a distinguished poet, writing some of the texts he set and being awarded poetic honours in Venice.

	Francesco Landini: Works List & Discography
		Francesco Landini (c.1325-1397) was the most widely praised composer of the Italian Ars Nova, and a leading representative of the Florentine style which came to dominate subsequent appraisal of the art and music of the Trecento.
		Landini's life and interests reflect the early humanist movement, and indeed some accounts of the Renaissance place the origin of that phenomenon in his time and place, with the school of the painter Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337).
		Landini's own father, Jacopo del Casentino (c.1310-1349), was a painter of the school of Giotto, and Francesco himself contributed poetry in the style of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio.

		As Francesco Landini is my favorite composer of all time, I was quick to purchase this album.
		This is Landini - a powerful and intense composer whose compositions range in mood from fierce anger to passionate and painful obsession to fl despair to sheer joy.
		Landini is my favorite composer to perform and listen to, so I am reluctantly grateful that Anonymous 4 has brought his name to renewed attention.

		Il principale compositore fiorentino, Francesco Landini, detto "Francesco Cieco" e "Francesco degli Organi", nacque a Fiesole attorno al 1325 e morì a Firenze nel 1397.
		Landini fu anche poeta, filosofo, astrologo e persino inventore di un nuovo strumento a corde, il Serena serenarum.
		Possiamo supporre che Jacopo sia stato l'insegnante di Landini, poiché è l'unico fra i compositori ad aver scritto un trattato teorico che sia sopravvissuto ai tempi.

		And so he came to take part in a contest for excellence in art with Jacopo of Bologna [leading composer of the generation before Landini and possibly his teacher], a highly skilled musician, the tyrant egging them on with offers of gifts.
		None of these, however - nor, for that matter, any composer of fabled antiquity - can measure up to Francesco, who is still alive, and whom I cannot write about truthfully without some fear of seeming to exaggerate.
		Francesco was hardly past the middle of his childhood when disaster struck him blind with the smallpox.

		It should always be remembered, however, that there was never any fixed way of performing secular works of this era.
		Landini's music is most important for its suave harmonies.

		Del musicista fiorentino più importante, Francesco Lendini - soprannominato per la sua cecità «il Cieco degli organi» - che pure trascorse molti anni in qualità di cappellano e organista di S. Lorenzo a Firenze, non ci è pervenuta una sola composizione sacra.
		Giovanni fu un eccellente organista e cantore nella primitiva cattedrale fiorentina di S. Reparata e in questa chiesa operò come chierico, sacerdote e cappellano anche Gherardello.
		Lorenzo Masi fu canonico di S. Lorenzo a Firenze ed appartenne allo stesso circolo di Landini, Andrea dei Servi e Paolo da Firenze.

		Ruling Milan under the standard of a viper devouring a child, the powerful and brutal Visconti family dominated northern Italian politics from the 13th-15th centuries.
		The Visconti strove to make their courts centers of learning and culture attracting such artists as Giotto, writers such as Petrarch, and some of the most accomplished composers of the Italian trecento, including Francesco Landini, Jacopo da Bologna, and Johannes Ciconia.
		In this concert, Liber unUsualis paints a picture of life under Visconti rule, with songs celebrating historical events, marriages, heraldry, courtly love, and world dominion.
