Filippo Azzaiolo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Filippo Azzaiolo was a 16th century Italian composer. All his surviving compositions were published between 1557 and 1569. Most of the dedicatees have links to Bologna, so it seems likely that Azzaiolo himself had connections to that city.

Azzaiolo's Chi passa per 'sta strada was adapted by English composer William Byrd. The contemporary composer Panayiotis Demopoulos has also written a set of variations for woodwind quintet on the same vilotta, issued by Dunelm Records and published by anaeresis.
