Giovanni Valentini

Giovanni Valentini (ca. 1582 – 29/30 April 1649) was an Italian composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque period, poet and keyboard virtuoso. Overshadowed by his contemporaries, Claudio Monteverdi and Heinrich Schütz, Valentini is practically forgotten today, although he occupied one of the most prestigious musical posts of his time.
