	Giuseppe Verdi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Verdi was born in Le Roncole, a village near Busseto in the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza (now in the province of Parma).
		When he was still a child, Verdi's parents moved to Busseto from the province of Piacenza, where the future composer's education was greatly facilitated by visits to the large library belonging to the local Jesuit school.
		Verdi went to Milan when he was twenty to continue his studies, but the Conservatory of Music rejected him, citing that he was two years over the age limit.

	Giuseppe Verdi
		Verdi's gift for stirring melody and tragic and heroic situations struck a chord in an Italy struggling for freedom and unity, causes with which he was sympathetic; but much opera of this period has political themes and the involvement of Verdi's operas in politics is easily exaggerated.
		Verdi was involved himself in political activity at this time, as representative of Busseto (where he lived) in the provincial parliament; later, pressed by Cavour, he was elected to the national parliament, and ultimately he was a senator.
		Verdi was ready to give up opera; his works of 1873 are a string quartet and the vivid, appealing Requiem in honour of the poet Manzoni, given in 1874-5, in Milan (San Marco and La Scala, aptly), Paris, London and Vienna.

	Verdi, Giuseppe (1813 - 1901) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Verdi dominated the world of Italian opera from his first considerable success in 1842 with Nabucco until his final Shakespearean operas Otello, staged at La Scala, Milan, in 1887, and Falstaff, mounted at the same opera-house in 1893.
		In addition to settings of the Te Deum and the Stabat Mater, Verdi wrote an impressive large scale setting of the Requiem, its origin stemming from the death of Rossini in 1868 and the death of the writer Manzoni.
		The first, Ave Maria sulla scala enigmatica, written in 1889, was followed, on publication, by a Stabat mater, the Laudi alla Vergine Maria, on a text from Dante, and a Te Deum for double chorus and orchestra.

		Verdi disliked hand organs with a passion because most of the time they sounded out of tune, and worst of all, when the person turning the handle would get tired, the tempo would slow down.
		According to a biographer, Verdi was walking down the street one day when he came upon a disheveled-looking organ grinder doing his thing, and a flea-bitten monkey holding a tin cup.
		As Verdi moved closer to the unexpected scene, he saw a big sign the man had attached to the organ.

		There is a tendency to assume that, when facing a serious illness, one must strive for constant peace and contemplation.
		I remember when, as a passionate teenager trapped in the banality of suburbia, the only place within my Judeo-Christian tradition that could adequately express my range of emotions were the Psalms, full of angst and so flat out human that I felt safe in them.
		It's that way with Verdi's Requiem: along with moments of complete beauty and transcendence, he gives us aggressive rhythms that express the more raw parts of our experience.

		t has always satisfied me greatly, as a determined critic of educational institutions, to note that Guiseppi Verdi — outstanding genius of Italian opera — was tossed out by the Milan Conservatory in 1831 “on the score of lack of musical talent”.
		In between Verdi’s output fell — like so many great European artists — into three periods, during which he transformed Italian opera from a prettily insubstantial artform into a vehicle of complex emotional expression.
		Arranger Pieter Louis van Dijk drastically reduces Verdi’s grand opera to a lean one-acter, concentrating on the moments of greatest drama, and astutely blending Verdi’s richly emotive orchestration with African percussive motifs.

		Richard Wagner was born in the year 1813--the same year, by a happy coincidence, in which Guiseppi Verdi came into the world.
		A male child born in 1813 would have been lucky to have had a life expectancy of about 50 years.
		Had Verdi and Wagner died in 1863, what would opera lovers have lost?
