Benedetto MARCELLO

Benedetto Marcello (born July 31 or August 1, 1686 in Venice - died July 24, 1739 in Brescia) was an Italian Baroque composer of the first half of the eighteenth century. Born into a noble Venetian family (in his works it is often referred to as Patrizio Veneto), Benedetto Marcello was destined by his father to a good legal career he received music lessons from masters as famous as Lotti and Gasparini. In 1711 he became a member of the Council of Forty in 1730, sent to Pola as Provveditore. His health deteriorated to the unfavorable climate of Istria, he resigned after eight years, moved to Brescia as Camerlengo, and it is there that he died. Known primarily for Benedetto Marcello's Estro-poetico armonico published in Venice in 1724-1727, which is a musical setting for voice and basso continuo of the first fifty psalms, whose words were adapted into Italian by G. Giustiniani. CARRYING This was much admired, especially by Charles Avison and John Garth, who made an edition with lyrics in English (London 1757). One finds the excerpts in the book by Hawkins, History of Music. He was one of the first composers to write for the cello and leaves a series of sonatas high quality joining the work of Gabrielli and Vivaldi for this instrument. Regarding his other compositions, it is mainly cantatas in one or more voices, the library of the Brussels Conservatoire few interesting volumes of chamber cantatas composed for his mistress. He also composed an opera, La Fede riconosciuta represented in Vicenza in 1702, but had little attraction to this kind of composition and expounded his views on the state of the drama in music in this period by a satirical pamphlet titled Teatro alla moda, published anonymously in Venice in 1720. This little book, frequently reprinted, is not only extremely funny, it's also a very significant contribution to opera history. It gave its name to the music conservatory in Venice. The older brother Benedetto, Alessandro, was also a composer, among other activities.
