	Giovanni Battista Pergolesi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (January 4, 1710 – March 16, 1736) was an Italian composer, violinist and organist.
		Pergolesi also wrote a lot of sacred music, including a Mass in F. It is his Stabat Mater (1736), however, for male soprano, male alto and orchestra, which is his best known sacred work.
		Pergolesi died at the age of 26 in Pozzuoli from tuberculosis.

		Pergolesi was a composer of instrumental music who wrote for the stage and for the church.
		Pergolesi's opera La Serva Padrona, an intermezzo performed together with another opera, was first staged in Naples in 1733.
		Pergolesi left a number of settings of liturgical texts, a body of music considerably augmented by later false attributions.

		Through the influence of the prince of Stigliano and other patrons, including the duke of Maddaloni, Pergolesi wa~ commissioned to write an opera for the court theatre, and in the winter of 1731 successfully produced La Sallustia, followed in 1732 by Ricimero, which was a failure.
		As a composer of sacred music Pergolesi is effective, but essentially commonplace and superficial, and the frivolous style of the Stabat Mater was rightly censured by Paisiello and Padre Martini.
		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.

	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.

		Pergolesi's studies there probably began in 1726, and one of his teachers was the composer Francesco Durante.
		Pergolesi was made deputy to the official maestro di cappella of the city of Naples, was twice summoned to Rome to direct performances of operatic and sacred works, and was for a time in the service of the Prince of Stigliano and the Duke of Maddaloni.
		At the time of his death Pergolesi appeared to have been a talented composer of largely local fame, but circumstances thrust him into the small group of people whose posthumous fame was greater than that achieved during their lifetime.

		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.

		Pergolesi was a composer of considerable importance in the development of Italian comic opera in the early 18th century, making a singular contribution during a remarkably brief career.
		Pergolesi's early death left much of his music unpublished, and his subsequent fame led to the wrong attribution of a number of works, as composers or promoters sought to make use of his posthumous reputation.
		The well known setting of the Stabat mater, for soprano, alto, strings and organ, was written at Pozzuoli in 1736, during his final months of retirement in a Franciscan monastery there in anticipation of his death.

		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 latest arrangement of Pergolesi's "Stabat mater", for chorus and modern orchestra, is by Alexis Lwow.

	Stabat Mater - Pergolesi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710 - 1736) was born in Jesi, Italy.
		Though the score of the compositions is almost identical, the melodic lines of Pergolesi are more sentimental and highly ornamented.The piece was widely acclaimed and it seems to have inspired many composers to imitate, paraphrase and adapt (see Brunetti, de Nardis and Paisiello).
		The Pergolesi Stabat Mater is performed with a light accompaniment, as it should, but stanzas 1, 3, 10 and 20 are sung not by soloists, but by a choir.

		Nobody is quite sure exactly what he did write in his 26 years, and what has had his name added to it later in an attempt to cash in on the mystique of genius died young.
		This idea (known as a contrafactum) has the precedent of Bach, but in the case of Bach's works the contrafacta were made by the composer himself for a purpose that was known.
		In the case of this Pergolesi, the context of any Vesper service he may have written is unknown, the model of Pergolesi's contrafactum technique is non-existent and the sources for making such contrafacta are thin, obscure and muddled.

	Domenico Gallo: 12 Trio Sonatas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The collection went through three editions by 1795, its success due in part to Pergolesi's popularity (he died in 1736 at the age of 26; his Stabat Mater was first published, in London, in 1749), but also to the evident quality of the music.
		As early as 1789, Charles Burney, an English scholar, raised doubts about the sonatas' provenance; however, it was not until the 1950's that it was firmly established that Pergolesi was not the author and that Domenico Gallo was.
		There was a family of musicians named Gallo based in Naples, Pergolesi's birthplace, and it is possible that Domenico was connected to them.

		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.

	Stabat Mater - Brunetti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Giovanni Gualberto Brunetti (1706 - 1787) lived a large part of his life in Pisa, Italy, where he was director of music of the cathedral.
		According to the musicologist Paolo Peretti his Stabat Mater was more or less copied, in 1825, by Antonio Brunetti, probably a nephew of his, who changed some things, replaced three sections by his own and sold it as his own work: "Stabat Mater all'imitazione del'esimio Sig.Pergolesi".
		Nevertheless, though Giovanni took Pergolesi's as an example, his contribution to the music is such, that it surely can be regarded as a work of his own.

		Pergolesi had a brief life, but left an unforgettable mark on music history with his Stabat Mater, his best-known work.
		The liner notes also point out that Pergolesi would never have “known the kind of choral performance of his music presented on this disc”.
		This recording shows off Pergolesi’s “genius” through a selection of movements, and is perhaps better judged as a best-of collection.

		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.

		From Magnificat by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, this canticle of the Blessed Virgin Mary text is wonderfully set.
		On the basis of this source it is probable that the composer conceived the work for two solo voices (soprano and alto); movements 2, 4, and 7 are marked "solo" while numbers 3 and 8 are marked "a2".
		The Pergolesi Suite is formed from the two final movements of Pergolesi's popular Stabat Mater, composed in 1736 just before the composer's death.
