 Revisiting Seventeenth-Century Counterpoint   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Aside from the advocates of modern music such as Galilei and Scacchi, even those generally regarded as conservatives, such as Zacconi and Penna, instruct their readers in contrapuntal procedures that allow for virtuosic melodic writing and the expression of affect.
Zacconi, along with Cerreto (1601) and others, place new emphasis on improvised counterpoint describing a singing tradition that becomes important for composers of monody and small-ensemble genres in the seventeenth century.
In a later musica prattica treatise, Li primi albori musicali (1672, 1684), Lorenzo Penna instructs that even the use of the basso continuo should be based on the knowledge of counterpoint.

 Musicologie -
I shall present a systematic study of canonised psalmtones in the magnificat, drawing on examples from Clemens non Papa to Sebastian Aguilera de Heredia whose five-part cycle ‘octo tonorum’ (1618) exploits canonical techniques to the extreme, presenting a canon at the interval corresponding to the number of the tone.
Some sixty years later we find another contrasting pair of theorists, Lodovico Zacconi, whose collection of ‘Canoni musicali’ remained in manuscript, and Giovanni Battista Rossi (Organo de cantori, 1618), who vents his resentment at composers whose enigmatic inscriptions cannot be deciphered.
Zacconi has three categories: the ‘antichi’ (the Josquin generation), the ‘vecchi’ (the Willaert generation), and the ‘moderni’ (of his own age).

Lodovico Zacconi, the most interesting and learned theorist after Zarlino, should by no means be overlooked.
Ivo de Vento, Netherlander by birth and an offspring of the Willaert School, was organist at the court of Munich; unfortunately, no organ composition of his has been preserved.

In 1602, Zacconi’s remarks were echoed by Giulio Caccini (1546-1618), the most famous singer and voice teacher of his time.
Numerous later authors followed Zacconi and Caccini in their preference for a full, bright voice quality, well suited to the large theatres and virtuosic demands of operatic singing (Stark 1999, 194-197).
Caccini and his large number of celebrated pupils and disciples played a major role in establishing what is often referred to as "the old Italian school of singing" (Stark 1999, 190-197).

Late in his career he also became famous also as a teacher.
Prominent among his students were his nephew Giovanni Gabrieli; the music theorist Lodovico Zacconi; Hans Leo Hassler, who carried the concertato style to Germany; and many others.
The date and circumstances of his death are not known, but since his position at St. Mark's was filled at the end of 1586, and a large amount of his music was published posthumously in 1587, it is presumed that he died in 1586.

Sordun is the German name for the instrument (French: sourdine; Italian: sordone).
