Domenico Anglesi

(b ? c1610-15; d after Aug 1669). Italian composer. He was a musician to the Medici court at Florence from 1638 and served Cardinal Giovan Carlo de′ Medici. He wrote stage works, but virtually all his extant music is contained in his Arie musicali (1635), a fine collection of songs for voice and continuo, notable for their spaciousness, long-breathed melodies and clearcut tonalities.
