You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Andreas de Florentia, Squarcialupi Codex, page 370.jpg|thumb|Historiated initial in the ''[[Squarcialupi Codex]]'', believed to portray Andreas]]

'''Andreas de Florentia''' (also known as '''Andrea da Firenze''', '''Andrea de' Servi''', '''Andrea degli Organi''' and '''Andrea di Giovanni'''; died 1415) was a [[Republic of Florence|Florentine]] composer and [[organ (music)|organist]] of the late [[Medieval music|medieval]] era. Along with [[Francesco Landini]] and [[Paolo da Firenze]], he was a leading representative of the Italian ''[[ars nova]]'' style of the ''[[Music of the Trecento|Trecento]]'', and was a prolific composer of secular songs, principally ''[[ballata|ballate]]''.

==Life==
Since Andreas was a member of the [[Servite]] religious order, whose records have largely survived intact, more is known about his life than is usually the case for fourteenth-century composers. He entered the order in 1375, though at what age is not known. One of his first activities within the order was to carry out a commission to build an organ for the Servite house in [[Florence]], for which he hired [[Francesco Landini]] as a consultant. Among the surviving records are the receipts for the wine that the two consumed during the three days it took to tune the instrument.

Evidently he and Landini were successful, for in 1387 Andreas received a similar commission to build an organ for [[Florence Cathedral]]. A commission recorded in 1382 for a "Maestro Andrea" to build an organ in [[Rieti]], between Florence and [[Rome]], may have been his as well, but has not been conclusively identified. The two men were evidently close friends, from the evidence of their time together, as well as the references found in their music.

Andreas was also active within his order as an administrator. In 1380 he became prior of the Florentine Servite monastery, SS Annunziata; in 1393 he took on the additional role of [[Prior (ecclesiastical)|prior]] of the monastery in [[Pistoia]]. From 1407 to 1410 he led the entire Servite order in [[Tuscany]].

==Music==
All of Andreas's surviving music with reliable attribution is in the genre of the ''[[ballata]]''. Thirty are known, with eighteen being for two voices and twelve for three; in addition, one ''ballade'' in French may be his work, based on stylistic similarities and a contemporary attribution of it to a name similar to his. The main source for his work is the ''[[Squarcialupi Codex]]'', which also includes, in the section containing Andreas's music, a colorful illustration of a man playing an organ, probably Andreas himself.

The two-voice ''ballate'' are usually for two singing voices; two of them include an instrumental tenor. Not all of the three-voice ''ballate'' have text in all three voices, and the third voice sometimes may have been played on an instrument.

Compared to Landini's music, in which refinement, elegance, and a memorable melodic line were the clear goals of the composer, Andreas's music is dramatic, restless, and sometimes disjunct, and includes sharp [[consonance and dissonance|dissonance]]s to highlight certain passages in the text. One of his ''ballate'' includes a melodic leap of an [[augmented octave]], highlighting the word ''maledetto'' (accursed), causing it to leap out from the rest of the music.
