Valerio Bona

Valerio Bona or Buona (c. 1560 – c. 1620) was an Italian composer of the early Baroque; he was also a Franciscan friar. Little is known about his life. He appears to have spent time in Milan and Verona, and may have been a student of Costanzo Porta. His theoretical Regole del contraponto of 1595 was influenced by Gioseffo Zarlino. His musical works include masses and canzonas.

Essempi delli passaggi delle consonanze et dissonanze, 1596
