	Giovanni Battista Pergolesi : Stabat Mater
		Pergolesi evokes the Passion of Christ and the grief of the Virgin with the utmost restraint, gracefulness and harmonic proportion, inviting the compassionate participation of the listener (Fac me vere tecum flere l Crucifixo condolers / donec ego vixero).
		Of the many settings of Salve Regina attributed to Pergolesi, only two have any claim to be regarded as authentic: the first (in A minor) is hardly known and probably dates from the very outset of his career; the second, the celebrated setting in C minor, has a distinct stylistic affinity with the Stabat Mater.
		While Pergolesi was clearly a talented and leading composer of the Italian Baroque period, he, among major composers, is probably the champion of misattribution as piece after piece bearing the Pergolesi name has been found to be by someone else.

	Giovanni Battista Pergolesi
		Through the influence of the prince of Stigliano and other patrons, including the Duke of Maddaloni, Pergolesi was commissioned to write an opera for the court theater, and in the winter of 1731 successfully produced La Sallustia, followed in 1732 by Ricimero, which was a failure.
		In 1736 he was sent by the Duke of Maddaloni to the Capuchin monastery at Pozzuoli, the air of the place being considered beneficial to cases of consumption.
		On the whole, however, Pergolesi is in no way superior to his contemporaries of the same school, and it is purely accidental that a later age should have regarded him as its greatest representative.

	Giovanni Battista Pergolesi
		Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (born in Jesi 4 January 1710, died in Pozzuoli 16 March 1736) was a composer who worked almost entirely in Naples.
		Pergolesi produced a number of religious pieces, vocal works of various kinds, and instrumental compositions such as this concerto.
		In his output we find an incisive approach, a counter-point which is developed in an authentically complete manner (not mere sketches as is the case with many other compositions of the period), and an intense feeling of joy.

	HOASM: Giovanni Battista Pergolesi
		Pergolesi was appointed maestro di cappella to Prince Ferdinando Colonna Stigliano in 1732, and the same year his commedia musicale Lo firate 'nnamorato was quite successful.
		He was commissioned to set Metastasio's L'Olimpiade for the Teatro Tordinona in Rome, where the work premiered in 1735; it appears to have been a failure, although a few years later it was produced in Venice and Turin.
		The enthusiasm for Pergolesi's works caused a considerable number of misattributions, which still cause confusion; Stravinsky's Pulcinella made use of material ascribed to Pergolesi, but in fact almost none of the works he selected are by the composer.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Giovanni Battista Pergolesi
		He was not satisfied with these latter achievements, and when Naples was visited by an earthquake, Pergolesi was commissioned to write a mass for the solemn services of thanksgiving in the church of Santa Maria della Stella.
		Though of lasting artistic value, Pergolesi's compositions are not available for liturgical purposes because for the most part they partake of the nature and form of contemporaneous operatic productions.

	The Pergolesi Research Center
		Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) was a brilliant composer who, though he lived only until the age of 26, exerted a profound influence on the course of music history.
		It is for this reason that Pergolesi's record as a composer has long been obscured and distorted.
		The Giovanni Battista Pergolesi Complete Works Edition was begun in 1977 under the direction of Barry S. Brook at the Pergolesi Research Center, with the backing of the Research Foundation of the City University of New York and grants by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

	Around Naples Encyclopedia 22
		Among the best known Neapolitan composers of the 18th century were Pergolesi (1710-1736), Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801) and Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816), all masters of the comic opera, light-hearted fluff which featured lots of fat old lechers rolling their eyes while they laughed and chased virgins around the stage.
		Pergolesi is in the forefront of important European musicians of the early 1700s, and his influence on the development of subsequent musical form in that century is far beyond what one might have expected from a scant 26 years of life.
		History remembers Pergolesi largely for his contribution to what would become the most popular form of entertainment in 18th century Europe, the opera buffa -- the comic opera.
