Bartolomeo Tromboncino (1470 - 1535)

Known in particular as a composer of frottolas, secular songs of the time, Tromboncino was associated for much of his life with the court of Mantua. He was pardoned for the excusable murder of his wife caught with a lover, but not forgiven for final unauthorised absence that took him, as on earlier occasions, to Venice.

Frottolas

Tromboncino's frottolas survive in a number of varied sources and include settings of poems by major Italian poets of the day, as well as works suitable for inclusion in theatrical contexts.
