Among sixteenth-century musical correspondents, Striggio stands out both for the number of letters he wrote that have survived and for the interest of the subjects he raised. Only Lasso among his exact contemporaries bequeathed more letters to posterity; and Striggio's, taken together, offer an exceptional view of the life of a court musician—one especially privileged by his social position as a member of the nobility—and of certain kinds of music cultivated in the late sixteenth century. The present edition brings together for the first time his complete surviving correspondence, with English translation and commentary.
