Biography
Leone Leoni
Leone Leoni (Verona, 1560 - Vicenza, June 24, 1627) was an Italian composer.
Leoni was a North Italian and served as maestro di cappella at Vicenza cathedral from 1588. He composed motets for antiphonal choirs, some in many parts, with instrumental accompaniment. As would be expected of a cathedral maestro di cappella, he also produced masses, psalms, magnificats and other liturgical music, some published in his Cantici sacri (1608) as well as sacred and secular madrigals.
