  Luca Marenzio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marenzio was born at Coccaglio, near Brescia, and died in Rome.
While Marenzio wrote some sacred music in the form of motets, and madrigali spirituali (madrigals based on religious texts), the vast majority of his work, and his enduring legacy, is his enormous output of madrigals.
Marenzio was hugely influential on composers in Italy, as well as in the rest of Europe.

 HOASM: Luca Marenzio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Marenzio was the greatest of those Italian composers whose fame rests entirely on their madrigals; his output includes no fewer than 500 such pieces and 80 villanellas, not to mention a small quantity of sacred music.
Later Marenzio came to favor more serious, even morbid, texts and to write in a style that was at once austere and intense, making full use of dissonant and chromatic harmonies and yet hardly departing from a chaste, even flow.
Marenzio's madrigals made an immediate impact in England, and enormously influenced the English madrigalists; some were issued in Yonge's Musica Transalpina of 1588.

It is not known when Marenzio left the court of the Polish king; spring of 1597 or 1598 is regarded as the probable date.
This can be used as evidence both of the creative reception of Marenzio's Mass in seventeenth-century Poland, and as an argument for claiming that the echo device used by the royal maestro di cappella was not only noticed, but emphasised and imitated by his contemporaries.
A comparison of Sanctus and Agnus Dei of Marenzio's Mass with the anonymous version from the Pelplin tablature shows clearly that in the case of the latter we are dealing with partially reworked (selected fragments being developed) material of the first composition.

 Marenzio: Madrigali a 4v
Of all the composers who developed the madrigal form away from its earlier contrapuntal roots toward the Baroque style of Monteverdi and contemporaries, Luca Marenzio (1533-99) is slowly emerging as the most accomplished from our modern perspective.
Although Marenzio represents a somewhat short-lived intermediate form in the Mannerist progression from the mature style of Cipriano de Rore (c.1515-1565) to the early style of Monteverdi, he did achieve a personal style which stands well on its own.
Marenzio's first book (on this program) shows the more old-fashioned 4-voice disposition, while his later books move on to the emerging standard of the 5-voice madrigal.
