Francesco Maria Marini ( fl. 1637) was an Italian composer of early Baroque music. Associated with the music of San Marino, only a single work of his survives, the 1637 collection Concerti spirituali concertati a 2–7 et con instrumenti, libro 1. [1] [2]
There is little known of Francesco Maria Marini; he lived around 1637. [1] The frontispiece of his surviving music indicates that he was born in Pesaro. [2]
He is known to have been music director for the republic San Marino's most important church. [1]
Although only a single set of his compositions survive, the British musicologist Jerome Roche remarks "That so few works survive is a matter for regret, since they show a surprisingly competent talent for a comparative outpost such as San Marino, geographically far removed from the centres of composition in the 1630s".
