Serafino Razzi

Fra Serafino Razzi (Marradi 1531 – Florence 1613), was an Italian Dominican friar who in 1563 published a large collection of carnival songs in the lauda (song) genre.[1] Razzi's collection Libro primo delle laudi spirituale is a miscellany of pieces of varying age and character from the music of Florence.[2] It contains 91 lauda settings for one to four voices. Razzi travelled widely and kept diaries of his journeys.[3]

Razzi's sister was the sculptor and nun Maria Angelica Razzi.
