Domenico Massenzio
Born: 28th March 1586, Ronciglione, Italy
Died: 23rd October 1650, Rome, Italy
Nationality: Italian
Domenico Massenzio was an Italian baroque composer.
His lifetime «coincides perfectly with the conception and implementation of the Counter-Reformation, the largest-scale operation of ideological communication ever carried out in Europe». He worked at the Seminario Romano (1612), Collegio Inglese (1624-6), Cappella Giulia (1626-7).
His first two collections of music (the 'Sacrae cantiones' in 1612 and the 'Motecta [...] liber secundus' in 1614), were dedicated respectively to Cardinal Odoardo Farnese and to Cardinal Benedetto Giustiniani (1544-1621), a Jesuit and a great appreciator of music.
Between 1629 and 1636 Massenzio published eight books of music. In 1631 he wrote the Sacri Mottetti «to be sung by ordinary voices or again by nuns».
