Italian composer and organist, blind from an early age, He was organist at S. Lorenzo in Florence between 1369 and 1396, and in 1379 was paid 9 solidi for writing five motets--an extremely rare record of payment to a composer. Landini was the most celebrated musical personality of the trecento; his 155-odd extant works are nearly all ballate, in which he excelled. In these smoothness of sound rather than dissonant asperity is evident; Landini's technical prowess can be seen in the canonic madrigal De! dimmi tu. He was a brilliant player of several instruments, especially the portative organ, and at the same time a distinguished poet, writing some of the texts he set and being awarded poetic honours in Venice. His music not only represents about a quarter of all the Italian trecento music known to have survived, but is preserved in many diverse sources, from Florence and elsewhere.

  • Can you tell us who the performers are?

    

  • Even though I was not named after Landini, his many successes, including this beautiful work here, make me proud that my middle name is Frances.

  • Who's that portait??

  • super astra reliquit

  • i want that horse! ..oh lord, make me rich!!

  • Awesome ... gorgeous indeed ...

  • the castle on the left is to MONTEMASSI - on the right to Roccastrada - Grosseto

    the character is Guidoriccio da Fogliano leader reggiano paid by Siena early 1300. Painting by Simone Martini (maybe) in mid-1300. The diipinto is located in the town hall of Siena Hall Globe.

  • il castello a sinistra è quello di MONTEMASSI - a dx quello di Roccastrada - Grosseto

    il personaggio è GUIDORICCIO da Fogliano condottiero reggiano pagato da Siena inizi 1300. Dipinto di Simone Martini (forse) a metà del 1300. Il diipinto si trova nel palazzo comunale Siena Sala del Mappamondo.

  • Beautiful. Who are the performers? The Landini cadence, lol.
