While he is best known as a Madrigalist , he was also an accomplished organist and Pedagogue (he was the mentor of Frescobaldi ). As a child he studied with Cipriano De Rore , and as an adult served as the court organist to Duke Alfonso II , where he did the bulk of his composition. Luzzaschi composed seven books of madrigals for five voices, including the famous ''Madrigali ... per cantare, et sonare, a uno, e doi, e tre soprani'' of 1601 . Unlike many madrigalists of the time, he included a highly ornamented Soprano line, anticipating some of the changes to come in the early Baroque era. Also unique in Luzzaschi's work is the existence of written-out keyboard accompaniments. He was a skilled representative of the late Italian madrigal style, along with Palestrina , Wert , Monte , Lassus , Marenzio , Gesualdo and others. In addition to his madrigals, he also composed sacred music (he published a collection of five-part Motet s in 1598 ). REFERENCES AND FURTHER READING
