See also:CAVALIERE, EMILIO DEL , 16th-See also:century See also:Italian musical composer, was See also:born in See also:Rome about 1550 of a See also:noble See also:family. He held a See also:post at the See also:court of See also:Ferdinand I. of See also:Tuscany from 1588 to 1597, and during his See also:residence at See also:Florence was on terms of intimacy with J. See also:Peri, O. See also:Rinuccini, G. See also:Caccini and the See also:rest of the See also:Barth circle. In 1597 he returned to Rome, and became connected with the See also:Congregation of the See also:Oratory founded by St See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)
- PHILIP, JOHN (1775-1851)
- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip See also:Neri. Here in 1600 was performed Cavaliere's contribution to the musical See also:reformation initiated by his circle of See also:friends in Florence—La Rappresentazione di Anima e di Corp, a sacred See also:drama, which is regarded as the first example of what is now called See also:oratorio. It is generally supposed that he was no longer living when the See also:work was performed, but some authorities assign 16o2 as the date of his See also:death.
Cavaliere's See also:style is more facile than that of Peri and Caccini, but he is inferior to them in See also:depth of musical expression. He is, however, important as being the first to apply the new monodic style to sacred See also:music, and as the founder of the See also:Roman school of the 17th century which included Mazzocchi, See also:Carissimi and Alessandro See also:Scarlatti.
