Leone Leoni (c. 1560 – 1627[1]) was a North Italian polyphonic composer who served as maestro di cappella at Vicenza Cathedral from 1588.
He composed motets for antiphonal choirs,[2] some in many parts, with instrumental accompaniment.
As would be expected of a cathedral maestro di cappella, he also produced masses, psalms, magnificats and other liturgical music, some published in his Cantici sacri (1608) as well as sacred and secular madrigals.
[4] Several books of his motets were printed under the title Sacri fiori ("Sacred flowers") at Venice, and reprinted.
[5] He was received as a member by the Accademia Olimpica, Vicenza, some time between 1609 and 1612.
