UGOLINI, VINCENZO. - Musician b. in Perugia c. 1570, d. in Rome on 6 May 1638.

Having gone to Rome at a very young age, he studied with Nanino. He was choirmaster at St. Mary Major (1592-1603), at the cathedral of Benevento (1619-15), in Rome at St. Louis of the French (1616-20), then at the Cappella Giulia in St. Peter's (1620-26); and again at St. Louis of the French (1631-38). He published much sacred music: Mottetti a 8 voci (Rome 1644); 4 ll. of Mottetti da 1 a 4 voci con b. c. per l'organo (ibid. 1616-19); 2 voll. of Salmi a 8 voci (Venice 1620), 2 ll. of Messe a mottetto a 8 e 12 voci (Rome, 1623); Salmi e mottetti a 12 voci (Venice 1624); Psalmi ad Vespers (ibid. 1628). These are works of certain value, which recall the manner of Palestrina, of whom he was one of the best followers.
