Luzzasco Luzzaschi (c. 1545 – September 10, 1607) was an Italian composer, organist, and teacher of the late Renaissance. He was innate & died inside Ferrara, and virtually all in all likelihood spent his entire life there.

When he is better known as a madrigalist, he was also an accomplished organist & pedagogue (he was the wise man of Frescobaldi). As a toddler he exposed by having Cipriano de Rore, and when an adult served as a court organist to Duke Alfonso II, where he did a bulk of his composition.

Luzzaschi composed sevener books of madrigals for 5 voices, including a noted Madrigali ... by the cantare, et sonare, the uno, e doi, e tre soprani of 1601. Unlike several madrigalists of the instance, he involved the extremely embellished soprano line, anticipating some of the changes to are in the early Baroque era. Too unique within Luzzaschi's act is the being of written-out keyboard accompaniments.

He was the skilled representative of the late Italian madrigal style, along using Palestrina, Wert, Monte, Lassus, Marenzio, Gesualdo and others. Additionally to his madrigals, he likewise composed sacred music (he published the collection of 5-a share motets in 1598).
