Maurizio (Mauritio) Cazzati [Cacciati, Casati, Cassati, Cazzatti]
(Luzzara (now Lucera), 1 March 1616 - Mantua, 1678)

Italian composer and organist. Nothing is known about his early years. He may have been appointed to his first musical position at the age of 17, at San Pietro, Guastalla, serving Ferrante III, Duke of Guastalla. After his ordination to the priesthood he became maestro di cappella and organist of San Andrea, Mantua, in 1641. In 1648 he was appointed the same post at the Accademia della Morte in Ferrara and at the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo in 1653. He returned to his old job in Ferrara in April 1657 and then was elected to the post where he would make his reputation, maestro di cappella at San Petronio, Bologna, in late 1657. He instituted a regular choir of 35 singers and a group of well-paid instrumentalists for the liturgy at San Petronio, but despite the audible improvements he made and the reputation he built, his tenure there was marked by politically motivated controversies over the syntax in his sacred compositions. The vestry supported him, but he was finally forced out in June 1671. He went to Mantua to serve the Gonzaga family as maestro di cappella di camera and the cathedral as maestro di cappella in a post he held the rest of his life. As a composer, he reformed the 'cappella musicale' at the church of San Petronio in Bologna and established its reputation as a center of excellent music in general and as the origin of the sonata for trumpet and strings in particular with his Opus 35 (1665). He published 10 volumes of instrumental music, including the first violin sonatas published by a San Petronio composer, his Opus 55 (1670). There are also 10 volumes of secular vocal music, 4 lost operas, 11 lost oratorios, and 46 volumes of sacred music.
