Luca Bati (c. 1546 – 17 October 1608) was an Italian
Baroque composer and music teacher. One of his pupils was
Marco da Gagliano.
Bati was born and died in
Florence. He was maestro di cappella of
Pisa Cathedral (1596) and then of the
Medici Court and
Florence Cathedral (from 1598 to 1599). His dramatic music for Medici weddings and Florentine carnivals is lost but his surviving madrigals (1594, 1598) and sacred works are of high quality though not notably progressive.
