Biography
PirroBN, Acta1064, 122, 12.10.1498: Stephano Cambier, clerico cam. dioc. familiari dni mgri Nicolai Brillet et musico, accordant dni habit. chori huius eccle.
• Un Seraphinus de Cambio (Chanbius) fut soprano à SP de Rome ca. 1476-1491 (Haberl, pp. 237-239).
• Reynolds 1995 ne mentionne pas ce Seraphinus mais: Serafinus (soprano, possibly Seraphinus Baldesaris), p. 55 : With parity in numbers came equality in wages. Among many northern singers, the Italian contingent was for the first time paid on an equal footing: Angelus Ghisleri, Dominicus Stephani, Anthonius Fabri de Verulis, Petrus Torelli, Anthonius Martinus, Hieronymus Beltrandus de Verona, Fr. Alberto Sipontino, Augustinus Romanus, Bartholomeo de Ferrara, and for 1485-89 a soprano named only Serafinus. This last is not Serafino dall'Aquila, the eminent poet-musician and familiar of Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, because he was in Milan with Sforza in 1487. But he could be one of the few Italian composers of church Polyphony in the latter Quattrocento, with two possible works: a structurally unorthodox Credo by Seraphinus in Per431, a Neapolitan manuscript from the 1480s; and a lauda by Seraphinus Baldesaris in Petrucci's Laude libro II (1508). Moreover, the usual allotment of St. Peter's clerics included several who sang polyphony, judging both by their salaries and indications that they sang something other than soprano: Hieronymus Johannes de Pazillis (contra) and Jacobus Antonius (tenor, and from 1490 also contrabasso) - p.309: (Serafinus: 9/1485-2/1489. Sop.). Et Cambius, p. 124: As was typical for a large church in Italy, benefices at St. Peter's rarely went to musicians, and then usually to individuals who were first of all chapter officials—some of the thirty canons, thirty-six beneficiaries, or twenty-six clerics—who like Loysio de Diano (beneficiary and regens chori ) by 1450, Christoforo Sancti (beneficiary and from 1481 to 1489 also a soprano), and Cambius (cleric and from 1476 off and on until 1489 a soprano) also sang.In the 1450s at least three singers were awarded benefices, Robinetto (beneficiary) and Andreas de Palermo (beneficiary and tenor) in 1450-51, and Nicholas Volfardo, a northerner who was made a cleric and then forced to resign it in 1459.
