Giovanni Martino Cesare (Udine, c.1590 – Munich, 6 February 1667) was a composer and cornett player.
Little is known about his early life; indeed, the first certain reference to him comes in 1604, when he was in service to Charles III, Duke of Lorraine as a cornett player.
Married to ET correspondent Mark Steines, Cornett is the mother of two sons, Kai Harper (born on February 19, 2002), and Avery James (born on November 4, 2003).
Cornett served on the 2013 selection committee for the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence.
Cornett had embraced the Goth subculture manner of black clothing and dark "doom-ridden music".
Nesmith Cornett Ankeny (1927, Walla Walla, Washington – 4 August 1993, Seattle) was an American mathematician specialising in number theory.
The In Dulci Jubilo à 20 cum Tubis setting by Praetorius from his vast Polyhymnia Caduceatrix & Panegyrica of 1619, seems to require a tenor cornett on the third line of Choro I, the part is scored for a viola (alto) and a cornett playing together.

In the works of Schütz, Schein, Scheidt, Praetorius, Gabrieli, Viadana and other composers from 16th and 17th century Venice, the tenor cornett appears to have been employed as the 3rd or 4th voice in instrumental and vocal music, usually playing alto or tenor ranged musical parts.

Orlando di Lassus employed the tenor cornett in various Broken consort combinations of instruments in performances under his direction at the Munich court.

Michael Praetorius was not enthusiastic about the sound of the tenor cornett, he describes it as "bullocky and horn-like" in his Syntagma Musicum of 1619.
