Diego Ortiz (Toledo, ca. 1510 – Naples, ca. 1570) was a Spanish composer and musicologist, in service to the Spanish viceroy in Naples (Pedro de Urries) and later to Philip II of Spain. Ortiz published influential treatises on both instrumental and vocal performance.
BiographyVery little is known about his life. He is believed to have been born in Toledo and died in Naples. In 1553 Ortiz was living in the viceroyalty of Naples. Five years later, the third duke of Alba, Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, appointed him maestro di capella. In 1565 Ortiz still held the post under the Viceroy Pedro Afán de Ribera, duke of Alcalá. WorksOrtiz published two music books: Trattado de Glosas in 1553 and Musices liber primus in 1565. Trattado de GlossasThe Trattado de Glosas is considered a masterpiece of literature for the viola da gamba. The work was published on 100 December 1553, in Rome under the Spanish title Trattado de glossas sobre clausulas y otros generos de punctos en la musica de violones nuevamente puestos en luz. Its Italian title is Glose sopra le cadenze et altre sorte de punti in la musica del violone. Musices liber primusOrtiz published a collection of polyphonic religious music in 1565 in Venice.
