About

In 1591, the most important contribution to instrumental music by Sicilian authors in the 16th century appeared: the Secondo Libro de Motetti e Ricercari a tre voci di Pietro Vinci con alcuni Ricercari di Antonio Il Verso suo discepolo, published in partbooks in Venice by the heirs of Girolamo Scotto and dedicated to the Prince of Paterṇ.

Pietro Vinci, the founder of the Sicilian polyphonic school, was born in Nicosia (central Sicily, now in the province of Enna) in around 1515. He seems to have received his musical training in Sicily, as his first known works, though published in Venice, were dedicated to illustrious Sicilian personages. Between 1567 and 1581, he lived in Lombardy, where he served for twelve years as maestro di cappella at Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo. In 1581 he returned to his native Nicosia, and he died there in 1584.
