Ascanio Trombetti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ascanio Trombetti (bapt. 27 November 1544 – 20/21 September 1590) was an Italian composer.[1]

He was born in Bologna as a son of Astore Cavallari. In his family, the surname Trombetti was used because of the great ability of its members in playing wind instruments.[1] His anthology Musica fatta sopra le conclusioni di legge was published by Giovanni Rossi in 1587.[2]

In 1590, he was murdered by his lover's husband.[1]
