Organist of the church of Santissima Annunziata in Naples from 1593, Ascanio Mayone joined the Royal Chapel in 1602, where he was second organist alongside Giovanni Maria Trabaci. His two books of Capricci per sonare (1603 and 1609) contain ricercars, canzonas, ornamented madrigal settings and partitas, often already Baroque in style.
