Encyclopedia > Filippo de Lurano

Filippo de Lurano (also Luprano, or Lorano) (c.1475 – sometime after 1520) was an Italian composer of the Renaissance. He was one of the most prolific composers of frottola after Marchetto Cara and Bartolomeo Tromboncino.


Of his early life, almost nothing is known. Probably he was born in Cremona, and he appears in the records of Cividale Cathedral, near Udine, as a cleric. He spent time in Rome in the first decade of the 16th century, but the exact years are not known; he wrote music for a wedding of the niece of Pope Julius II in 1508. From 1512 to 1515 he was employed as maestro de cappella of Cividale Cathedral, and shortly afterwards moved to Aquileia, where he may have died.


Most of his music is in the light secular form of the frottola, an ancestor of the madrigal. 35 of his frottola survive, along with two motets and a lauda. Stylistically they are typical of the time: homophonic texture predominates, with brief imitative passages at phrase beginnings; the melodies are memorable and easily singable. One of his frottola was evidently the favorite song of Cesare Borgia, the son of Pope Alexander VI, according to a manuscript source of the time.
