Music

(Submitted by Ross McKitrick, Vancouver <rmckitunixg.ubc.ca>)

Born on the Island of Burano in Venice and nicknamed "Il Buranello". His first opera was staged at age 16, and though it flopped it caught the attention of Lotti who took him on as a pupil. He worked most of his life in Venice except for invited stays at the Court of Catherine II in St Petersburgh and as an opera composer in London. Together with librettist Carlo Goldoni he wrote over 100 operas which were widely performed and very popular. His work in opera was devoted chiefly to the development of the buffa style. He was appointed choirmaster at the Incurabili and at St Mark’s, and he composed numerous sacred choral works including oratorios, motets, masses and settings of liturgical texts. His instrumental works consists of several dozen keyboard sonatas (which were influential in the development of the form), trios and concertos for various instruments, as well as a set of concerti grossi which for a long time were misattributed to Corelli. His music unfortunately went out of fashion soon after his death and is only slowly being rediscovered. Some recordings are available on the Claves and the Erato labels, as well as a recent recording of 2 motets on the Virgin Classics label by Il Seminario Musicale.
