Donato da Cascia

About Donato da Cascia

Donato da Cascia (also da Firenze or da Florentia) (fl. c. 1350 – 1370) was an Italian composer of the Trecento. All of his surviving music is secular, and the largest single source is the Squarcialupi Codex. He was probably also a priest, and the picture that survives of him in the Squarcialupi Codex shows him in the robes of the Benedictine order. Nothing at all is known about his life except what can be inferred from his picture, his name, and the geographic distribution of his surviving music.
