Caccini bridges the Renaissance and Baroque eras. His music represents an emphasis on monody (solo vocal music with harmonic accompaniment) instead of the Renaissance ideal of four equal voices in counterpoint. In addition to composing, Caccini was known as a singer, lutenist, and an excellent gardner. He worked in Florence for Cosimo I de' Medici around 1565. There he associated with a group of poets and musicians organized by Count Giovanni de Bardi (1534-1612) and the Italian nobleman Jacopo Corsi (1561-1602). This group is known as the Florentine Camerata. They met in the homes of aristocrats in Florence between 1573 and 1590. The chief products of this group were the first operas in music history and an expressive monodic style called stile rappresentativo.
