Biography
Italian composer. In 1579 he was working as maestro di cappella at the abbey of S Maria della Carità near Venice, and in the same year he published a collection of vesper psalms for six voices. Dedicated to a fellow canon regular, Ascanio Martinengo, this contains 16 settings, the last of which, Et exultavit spiritus meus, expands to seven parts for its final, canonic peroration. A manuscript set of four-part falsobordoni, recorded in the literature, is not known to have survived. Corona is also known to have composed some madrigals, three of which appeared in print (two in RISM 15937, and one in Scaletta’s Amorosi pensieri, RISM 1590²5); he also contributed a five-part psalm, Beate omnes, to Giammateo Asola’s Psalmodia (RISM 1592³).
