Giovan Leonardo Primavera (Composer)

Born: 1540, Barletta, Italy

Died: 1585, Naples, Italy

Nationality: Italian

Giovan Leonardo Primavera was an Italian Renaissance composer and poet. Born in Barletta, he spent most of his working life in Naples, with some time in other Italian cities such as Venice, Milan, and Loreto.

His works consist primarily of madrigals and three-voice napolitane (secular songs, of a light character, in Neapolitan dialect), based on texts by poets such as Petrarch, Sannazaro, and Tansillo, and a few by himself. His most famous work, the madrigal Nasce la gioja mia, was the model for a parody mass by Palestrina.
