He was one of the first composers of this group, making him a contemporary of Gherardello da Firenze and Giovanni da Firenze. He is mostly known for his madrigals but also composed several cacce and caccia/madrigal hybrids.
His setting of Non al suo amante, written about 1350, is the only known contemporary setting of Petrarch's poetry.
Jacopo's style was known for sweet, clean melodies; fully texted voice parts that never crossed; and noncanonical writing. Noteworthly are the untexted passages which connect the textual lines in many of his madrigals. His most famous madrigal is Fenice fu', written c. 1360.
He is well-represented in the Squarcialupi Codex, the large collection of 14th century music long owned by the Medici family; 28 compositions of his are found in that source, the principal source for music of the Italian ars nova, alongside music by Francesco Landini and others.
In addition to his compositions, Jacopo also wrote a short theoretical treatise, L'arte del discanto misurato.

Wonderful! Loved it. Thank you so much for posting this gem.(Watch your volume levels. There was some distortion on the high notes)

I first heard an instrumental version of this piece on the radio in about 1972 and it left quite an impression on me. The announcer said it was "The Conquest of Summer Over Winter" by "Jacobo" (with a "b"). I made note of the title and composer, but with his name misspelled, no lyrics, and a different title, you can imagine how difficult it was to find! I finally discovered it decades later, on the album "Music of the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance" by the Festival Consort (San Diego), directed by Lawrence Selman, Musical Heritage Society MHS 1141. And yes, composer's name was listed as "Jacobo." I assume the track title, "The Conquest of Summer Over Winter," refers to the story of a Knight armored in ice, slain by the Lady of Heat. Anyway, it's nice to hear it performed properly, with such fine singing. Thank you!

Jacobo is an alternative spelling of Jacopo. In the Middle Ages the spelling was not standardised like nowadays.

This site is Montemassi Castle next to Roccastrada Italy- this picture is part of big picture in Siena of Simone Martini 1330 and shows Guidoriccio da Fogliano up the horse (right hand) fighting near Montemassi Castle.

@ChuckDuke1 I'm glad you like. "Guidoriccio da Fogliano all'assedio di Montemassi" by Simone Martini (Siena, 1330).

@TheMadrigalista : The framework is the captain Guido Riccio da Fogliano among the castles (some would argue) Montemassi and Roccatederighi in Grosseto (Maremma Toscana)
