Biography
Francesco Landini was an Italian composer, poet, and organist born around 1325 in Florence. Blind from childhood due to smallpox, he mastered instruments including the lute and became a central figure of the Trecento style. Landini achieved professional recognition for his secular compositions and served as the organist for the monastery of Santa Trinità beginning in 1361 and the church of San Lorenzo from 1365. His musical output includes more than 140 ballate and several madrigals, a collection representing nearly a quarter of surviving 14th-century Italian music. His compositions are preserved in the Squarcialupi Codex. He is the eponym of the Landini cadence, a formula utilized throughout his works. Landini died on 2 September 1397 and was buried in San Lorenzo.
