Fabrizio Fontana

about

Fabrizio Fontana (ca. 1610-1695) was a 17th Century Italian composer of Baroque music. His career centred on Rome, where he became organist at St Peter’s in 1657, retiring in 1691. While Fontana is chiefly known for a small number of generally conservative keyboard pieces he was also capable of a more light-hearted approach, as in his Lament of the Impotent Man – a musical study of an unfortunate human predicament.
