Cipriano de Rore (1516 - 1565) was a Flemish composer and teacher. He was a central representative of the generation of Franco-Flemish / Netherlandish composers after Josquin who went to live and work in Italy, and who were formative in the development of the late Renaissance styles there, and he was also one of the most prominent mid-century composers of madrigals. This madrigal survives in a collection of instrumental music, "the Fantesie, et recerchari a tre voci, accomodate da cantare et sonare per ogni instrumento, Composte d-i M. Gililiano Tiburtino da Tievoli. . . ." Venice, Girolamo Scotto, 1549. "Tutto il di" is one of a small handful of three-part pieces by Rore, most of whose madrigals are in four or five parts. The layout of the parts is also unusual, with two equal upper parts and a third part of tenor range. But the level of invention and counterpoint is very much what one would expect from Rore, the most gifted madrigal composer of his generation. Includes an English translation of the text.
