Song Information:

GIULIO CACCINI was born around 1545 in Rome (or Tivoli?) and died in 1618 in Florence. He was a member of the Camerata - a group of nobles and musicians who met to discuss science, drama and music, and was particularly involved in the attempts to add music to ancient Greek drama, which led to Opera. Caccini himself is often credited with the invention of the recitative style of singing so essential to early music dramas. His "Euridice" was not the first opera performed - that credit usually goes to an opera of the same name by Peri, but it was probably the first to have been written.

Caccini's most famous work prior to this decade was the song "Amarilli mia bella" - it is still (at the time of writing) his most recorded work. This came from a collection of songs and madrigals called Le nuove musiche which also contained an essay on the composition and singing techniques for the new styles emerging.

THE "AVE MARIA" as most of us know it today may not be 100% authentic, but to the best of my knowledge the authorship of the original is undisputed, and printed versions have been available before, including one from Schott.
