Orazio Vecchi (bapt. 6 December 1550 – 19 February 1605) was an Italian composer best known for his madrigal comedies.
Side Gig
Vecchi was renowned for his madrigals, especially his grouping of them together in a new form called the
"madrigal comedy."-- Wikipedia
Vecchi wrote successful sets
Of madrigals and canzonets,
And published then as small vignettes;
And Vecchi, not the least constrained
By Holy Vows (he was ordained),
Was glad that folks were entertained.
