(c.1500-1568)
Franco-Flemish composer, who spent much of his life in Italy. After a brief trip to Florence, he sang tenor in the Cappella Giulia, Rome, and was master of the boys there in 1539.

He was a singer in the Papal choir in the 1540s and early 1550s, after which he returned north to Paris with Charles of Lorraine, Duc de Guise; in 1555 he had the title 'regius musicus'.
Arcadelt was perhaps the most important of the northern composers who settled in Italy at the time when the madrigal was developing. As a distinguished polyphonist, he brought a contrapuntal element to the song-like chordal Italian style to produce madrigals of balance and polish. The several volumes of 4-part madrigals he published around 1540 were an instant success, and the first book (1539) was reprinted more than thirty times over a period of more than a century; it was this that contained the famous (and beautiful) Il bianco e doice cigno. This illustrates the melodic poise of Arcadelt's madrigals; others show his sensitive use of harmonic coloring and the dissonances characteristic of Franco-Flemish polyphony. His output also included Masses, motets and chansons.

Arcadelt from the Netherlands, Philippe Verdelot from France, and Costanzo Festa from Italy are appropriately enough considered the three fathers of the form. Arcadelt 's Il bianco e dolce cigno (The White and Sweet Swan) is considered by many to be the epitome of the early Italian four-part madrigal, with its rich harmonies, sophisticated.
