Lo Ballo del Intorcia - Antonio Valente.

Antonio Valente, est un compositeur, organista et clavecinista italien du siècle XVI, dont les dates naissance et décès ne sont pas sûres, mais ils sont estimés respectivement durant les années 1520 et 1580
Il a été aveugle depuis l'enfance, et a été organista dans ce qui est iglesa de Sant&#039 ; Angelo à Nilo de Naples entre les années 1565 et 1580.
Dans 1576 a écrit son Intavolatura de cimbalo, composé, entre d'autres pièces, par six ricercares, et dans 1580, année de son décès, a publié ses Versi spirituali.
ntonio Valente (fl. 1565--80) was an Italian Renaissance organist and composer. He was blind from childhood and served as organist of Sant'Angelo a Nilo in Naples in 1565--80. During that time he published two collections of organ music: Intavolatura de cimbalo (1 fantasia, 6 ricercares, Salve regina, 3 intabulations, 6 sets of variations, and 3 dances; 1575) and Versi spirituali (43 versets; 1580). Nothing else is known about his life. In 1601 he was listed among the deceased organists of Naples.
Valente's second collection is historically important as one of the earliest instances of liturgical music free from any ties with the chant. Versi spirituali provides a wealth of diverse, freely composed pieces that cover the entire liturgy—the Mass and the Daily Offices. Valente's 1575 print, although of considerably lower quality, is also a major landmark in the history of Italian keyboard music, for together with Rocco Rodio's Libro di ricercate (1575) it constitutes the earliest work of the so-called Neapolitan school, which later produced composers such as Ascanio Mayone and Giovanni Maria Trabaci.
