Serafino Razzi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serafino Razzi (1531–1613), born in Marradi and later residing in Florence, was a notable Italian Dominican friar celebrated for his contributions to music and literature.
In 1563, he unveiled a substantial compilation of carnival songs within the lauda genre, titled Libro primo delle laudi spirituale.[1] This collection stands as a vibrant mosaic, showcasing pieces of diverse ages and characters drawn from the rich musical landscape of Florence.[2] Comprising 91 lauda settings for one to four voices, Razzi's work reflects his extensive travels, meticulously chronicled in his diaries.[3]
Razzi's sister was the sculptor and nun Maria Angelica Razzi.
