Details
Andreas de Silva (fl. 1520) was a composer, probably of Portuguese origin, who is known mainly from inclusion of five motets in the Medici Codex. Now attributed to de Silva is a madrigal Che sentisti Madonna, misattributed to Verdelot in 1537. Aspects of his compositional style suggest musical training in Spain, France, and northern Italy. He worked under the patronage of the Medici family and was employed by Pope Leo X in Rome, and wrote the motet Gaude felix Florentia for the Pope's coronation. In 1519 and 1520 his name was recorded as the cantor et compositor of the papal chapel and as the cantor secretus of the Pope's private chapel. The last record of him was a payment by the Duke of Mantua in 1522, though other sources suggest he was living in Italy by the end of the decade.
