Philippe de (Filippo di) Monte [Mons]
(Mechelen, 1521 - Prague, 4 July 1603)

Flemish composer. It is likely that he received his first musical training as a choirboy at St Rombouts Cathedral in Mechelen. He was employed early on as an instructor to the children of the Genovese banker Domenico Pinelli, in Naples. He then went to Rome, where he published his first book of madrigals (1554), and from Rome to Antwerp in 1554, and then to England, where he served as 'chorus praefectus' in the private chapel of Philip II of Spain, the husband of the Queen, Mary Tudor. In September 1555 he left England and went to Italy again; in 1567 he was in Rome. On 1 May 1568, he became Imperial Court Kapellmeister to the Emperor Maximilian II in Vienna; he held this position until his death, which occurred while the court was at Prague during the summer of 1603. In 1572 he was appointed treasurer of Cambrai Cathedral, and in 1577, also a canon (residence was not required for either position there). He was greatly esteemed as a composer, numbering among his works some 1,000 madrigals, about 40 masses (mostly in cantus firmus, paraphrase and parody masses), and many other works of sacred music. He was an important representative of the last generation of great Flemish composers of the Renaissance, and was one of the major composers of Italian madrigals.
