A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Conversi, Girolamo

by Edward H. Pember

CONVERSI, Girolamo, was born at Correggio about the middle of the 16th century, and is known as the author of the following works:—Canzoni a 5 voci; Venice, G. Scotto 1575; reprinted by the same publisher in 1580 in 4to; Madrigali, a 6 voci, lib. 1; Venice 1584; ibid, in 4to. Conversi is familiar to English amateurs through his fine Madrigal 'When all alone my pretty love was playing.'
