Full biography Ambrose Lupo

Ambrose Lupo was a prominent composer who lived during the late 16th century and early 17th century, in the city of London. Lupo's exact birth and death dates are unknown, but it is believed that he was born in the early 1560s and passed away around 1620.

Lupo was known for his innovative style, which blended both the traditional English music and the more exotic Italian styles. This unique take allowed him to stand out from the other composers of his time.

Lupo was not only a talented composer but also a professional musician, playing lute, viol, and other instruments. He was employed as a musician for the Royal Court from 1580 to 1591.

During his time in the Royal Court, Lupo composed a number of works, including the ballet "The Hunters' Chorus," which was performed at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth in 1613. He also composed sonatas, motets, and madrigals, which were widely popular at the time.

Despite his success, Lupo's life was not without hardship. He was imprisoned twice, once in 1601 for refusing to pay a debt and again in 1606 for alleged involvement in a Catholic plot against the King. However, both times he was eventually released and went back to composing.

Today, Ambrose Lupo's music is not as widely known as some of his contemporaries. However, his unique style and innovative approach to music have left a lasting impact on the music world.
