Musica moderna and Local Tradition the Case of Tomaso Cecchini Veronese in Dalmatia

The most important Italian composer working in the area of Croatia in the first half of the 17th century was Tomaso Cecchini (Verona, 1580/1582 - Hvar, 1644). Very likely in his native town, or somewhere else in Italy, he acquired a sound musical training and arrived in Dalmatia for the first time in 1603, when he took up the post of maestro di cappella for the cathedral in Split ; in 1614 he moved to the nearby island of Hvar and remained there for the rest of his life. In Split, and then in Hvar, he had a variety of musical duties: he was kapellmeister for the cathedrals, singing master and organist. From 1612 to 1635 he published at least 27 collections, including monodies, madrigals and canzonettas for several voices, motets, masses and instrumental sonatas. Cecchini acquired friends and patrons in the local area to whom he dedicated his printed works. A short overview of his musical activities in Dalmatia is given, together with a complete bibliography of his work.
