Domenico Mazzocchi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Domenico Mazzocchi (1592 - 1665) was an Italian baroque composer, of the generation after Claudio Monteverdi. He was a composer of only vocal music, motets, oratorios and madrigals which have continuo, similar to the late Monteverdi ones.
He is associated with providing music for the popes, particularly Cardinal Maffeo Barberini, later Pope Urban VIII.
His younger brother Virgilio Mazzocchi was also a Roman composer who had a similar career as a Vatican music provider.
