Birthdate

article says c. 1570
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Baroque_composers has c. 1575
LC authority file has: Donati, Ignazio, ca. 1585-1638

for the moment I will stick with c. 1570; I will try to do more research in New Grove next week. --FeanorStar7 (talk) 23:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The current New Grove has c.1570 as well (I originally wrote the article from the 1980 Grove; sometimes the current has more recent research, but not in this case). Do you know where the LC gets their birthdate info? 1585 would be impossible, since then he would have become maesto di cappella at the age of 11.

Oops, looks like I didn't put the dates of his appointments in the article yet. Expansion required.... Antandrus (talk) 00:18, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
