Pomponio Nenna (bapt.13 June 1556 – 25 July 1608) was a Italian composer remembered for his madrigals.

 

Mutual Influence

 

Gesualdo had a musical relationship with Pomponio Nenna, though whether it was student to teacher, or colleague to colleague, is uncertain. -- Wikipedia, s.v. "Carlo Gesualdo"

 

He exchanged musical ideas with Gesulado.   -- Wikipedia


I’m here on this day to propose a

Tribute to Nenna, who chose a

Style which was changed

By the partly deranged

Gesualdo, the Prince of Venosa.
