Biagio Marini (1594-1663) now is remembered not only as one of the most famous violin virtuosos of his time and an innovator of instrumental music, but also as a masterly composer of vocal pieces, both sacred and profane. The Concertos, Op. 7 reveal the composers mastery. Adopting some traditional forms of music of the Renaissance such as the canto a ballo and the romanesca, and using ritornellos and refrains interspersed with different formal systems, Marini created complex, dynamic pieces, achieving a splendid synthesis of styles.
