 Resume:
Francesco Soriano (1548-1621) was born at Soriano, near Viterbo. He studied at the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome with several teachers, including Giovanni Pierluigi Da Paledtrina; became a priest in the 1570s and by 1580 was maestro di cappella at S. Luigi dei Francesi, also in Rome. In 1581 he moved to Mantua, taking a position at the Gonzaga court there; but in 1586 he moved back to Rome where he spent the rest of his life working as choirmaster at three separate churches, including the Julian Chapel at St. Peter´s. He retired in 1620. Soriano worked with Felice Anerio to revise the Roman Gradual in accordance with the needs of the Counter-Reformation; this work was left incomplete by Palestrina. Stylistically, Soriano´s music is much like Palestrina´s, but shows some influence from the progressive trends prevalent around the return of the century. He adopted the polychoral style, while retaining the smooth polyphonic treatment of Palestrina, and he had a liking for homophonic textures, which generally made it easier to understand sung text. He wrote masses, motets (some for eight voices), psalms, settings of the Passion according to each of the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Marian antiphons, and several books of madrigals. His Passion settings are significant predecessors of the more famous settings from the Baroque era.
