Giovanni Martino Cesare
Giovanni Martino Cesare (c. 1590 in Udine – 6 February 1667 in Munich) was a composer and cornett player.[1][2]
By 1611 (his first publication) he resided as cornetto player at the house of Charles, Margrave of Burgau (died 1618) at Günzburg, near Augsburg. In 1615 he became an employee of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria (Munich) as a cornettist, where he wrote his best known collection Musicali melodie (1621). It contains fourteen instrumental canzonas of one to six parts with continuo, and fourteen motets.
