  Francesco Durante
Francesco Durante (March 15, 1684 - August 13, 1755), Italian composer, was born at Frattamaggiore[?], in the kingdom of Naples.
Although certainly one of the best church composers of his style and period, he is far inferior to Leo, and seems to have been the founder of the sentimental school of Italian church music.
As a teacher he insisted on the strict observance of rules for which he either would not or could not give a reason, differing thus from Alessandro Scarlatti, whose first care was to develop his pupils' talents according to their own individualities, regarding all rules as subservient to his exquisite sense of musical beauty.

A complete collection of Durante's works, consisting all but exclusively of sacred compositions, was presented by Selvaggi, a Neapolitan lover of art, to the Paris library.
Two requiems, several masses (one of which, a most original work, is the Pastoral Mass for four voices) and the Lamentations of the prophet Jeremiah are amongst his most important settings.

He was venerated as the finest composition teacher in Naples; among his pupils were Pergolesi, Anfossi and Piccinni.
Unusually among Neapolitan composers, Durante wrote no operas, although he wrote sacred dramas and secular and sacred cantatas.
Among them are masses (e.g.the Missa in Palestrina, 1739) in the traditional Palestrina style, to which Durante added more modern touches than did his contemporary Leo, and stile moderno works with instruments, such as motets and psalms, using lighter textures and sometimes thematic and harmonic contrasts, strong dissonances, and expressive dynamics and scoring.
