About Ippolito Sabino
Ippolito Sabino (c.1540–1593) was an Italian Renaissance composer from Lanciano in Abruzzo, remembered as one of the strongest musical figures to emerge from that city’s sixteenth-century chapel and organ-building culture. Closely tied to the Santa Casa del Ponte, he worked in a local environment where sacred polyphony, organ craft, and madrigal composition overlapped. His music was not provincial in circulation. Sabino published extensively in Venice, beginning with Il primo libro de madrigali a cinque voci in 1570, followed by further madrigal books for five and six voices and a substantial sacred output including masses, hymns, and Magnificat settings. His repertory moves between Petrarchan refinement, pastoral imagery, devotional craft, and the expressive madrigal language of late Renaissance Italy. Individual pieces such as La pastorella mia, Rendeasi lieto il giorno, Dove sorge piacevole, and Tirsi in ira show the breadth of his later reception, from printed anthology culture to manuscript transmission and modern vocal revival. Sabino’s achievement is that of a prolific Abruzzese master whose music entered the wider Venetian and European madrigal world without losing its strong Lanciano identity. Discography note: modern recordings exist. Dove sorge piacevole appears on The King’s Singers’ 2015 album Il Trionfo di Dori, and Tactus also documents an Il Trionfo di Dori release including Ippolito Sabino among the composers represented.
