Bernardino Cirillo

Bernardino Cirillo (c. 1500, L'Aquila – c. 1575) was the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Loreto, Italy.[1]

He participated in the Council of Trent and was interested in improving Church music. He published litanies to the Virgin Mary.[1][2] Cirillo advocated a return to the simplicity and harmony of the earlier forms of Church music rather than elaborate forms of organ music.[3]
