Why does nobody talk about Carlo Gesualdo?
>wrote music that had elements of tonality 50 years before tonality existed
>used chromaticism that wasn't seen again for over 100 years, and nothing like it had been seen before
Non-musically he was fucking insane
>finds out wife is cheating on him. He pretends to go hunting for a few days, then comes back, kills her lover on the spot, and makes her say Salve Regina before he kills her
>had a servant whose entire job was to beat him daily
>tried to buy his uncles skeleton to make a medicine lut of because he thought it would cure his depression
This guy is fucking cool as hell, why don't we talk about him more?

Look up Miserere Mei, Deus. It is full of cadences and it isn't in a church mode like most baroque music. It was written in 1611 (technically after the end of the renaissance, but still).
