Giovanni Martino Cesare

Giovanni Martino Cesare (c. 1590 in Udine – 6 February 1667 in Munich) was a composer and cornett player.[1][2][3]

By 1611 (when he had his first publication), he resided as cornett player at the house of Charles, Margrave of Burgau in Günzburg.[3] In 1615, he became an employee of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria as a cornettist, where he wrote his best known collection, Musicali melodie (1621).[3] It contains fourteen instrumental canzonas of one to six parts with basso continuo, and fourteen motets.[3]
