	Vittorio Giannini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Giannini began as a violinist under the tutelage of his mother; he would go on to study violin and composition at the Milan Conservatory on scholarship, and then to take his graduate degree at the Juilliard School.
		Giannini was one of the founders of the North Carolina School of the Arts, in 1964, and he remained there until his death.
		Giannini was a throwback to the Romantic tradition, particularly considering that most of his American musical contemporaries were exploring the realms of neoclassicism.

	Classical Net Review - Giannini/Carbon/McKinley - Concertos for Double Bass
		Giannini came into prominence during the Thirties, mainly as an opera composer.
		Giannini had not only been diagnosed with a serious heart condition, but his second wife, whom he had loved practically to distraction, divorced him.
		Giannini uses the tropes of the late Nineteenth Century with at least great understanding, but nothing surprises me. I hear a collective, rather than a particular take on these things.

	Los Angeles Philharmonic Association - Piece Detail
		Giannini was a major figure in mid-20th-century American conservatory life, teaching at Juilliard, the Manhattan School of Music, and the Curtis Institute, and being the first director of the North Carolina School of the Arts.
		Commissioned by Juilliard, Giannini's Prelude and Fugue for string orchestra has all the expressive passion of his early music, in a setting of neo-classical clarity.
		The Prelude is largely an accompanied song for the first violins, an elegiac, cresting melody in E minor varied and extended to a soaring climax, then quickly sinking to a quiet close on E, sweetened with a Picardy (major) third.

	Classical Net Review - Creston/Giannini/Flagello - Piano Music
		Paul Creston (1906-1985), Vittorio Giannini (1903-1966), and Nicolas Flagello (1928-1994) all were Italian-American composers who were associated with a fairly traditional (one might say "old-fashioned") style of writing.
		And, as an interesting bit of trivia, the latter two men were brothers to well-known opera singers; Giannini's sister Dusolina was a soprano, and Flagello's brother Ezio was a bass-baritone.
		Giannini's sonata comes from the very end of his life, when he was the victim of dwindling artistic recognition, a lost marriage, and poor physical health.

		Vittorio Giannini and his pupil Nicolas Flagello stand with Creston and Menotti as exemplars of the Italian tradition.
		Giannini's Concerto Grosso is the blessed antithesis of the desiccated neo-classical tendency that swept bloodlessly through the twentieth century.
		The Psalmus (note that Giannini wrote a symphonic-scale Psalm for cello and strings) is a relaxed nostalgic hymn and his mastery of instrumentational effect is never ever in doubt - listen to the master-stroke of the solo horn at 3.45 (track 7).

	TIME.com: New Shrew in Cincinnati -- Feb. 9, 1953 -- Page 1
		Giannini's Shrew was a joint enterprise for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the city's Music-Drama Guild, whose singers sang without pay.
		Composer Giannini, 49, a Manhattan professor of composition, sounded more than once as if he had gone to melody school with Puccini.
		The text was adapted by one of Giannini's pupils at the Juilliard School of Music, and nearly everybody was able to keep up with the lines, despite the heavy screen of sound thrown up by the full (90 pieces) Cincinnati Symphony.

	ARTIST
		Born into a family of professional musicians, he was deeply imbued with the values of a Eurocentric musical culture at an early age, he had completed four years of formal study in Milan by the time he was 14, and had already begun to compose.
		He first attracted attention during the 1930s, when his songs began to appear frequently on recital programs, and several of his operas were produced successfully in Europe, where he spent much of his time.
		Settling in New York City in 1939, Giannini continued composing prolifically, producing dozens of works notable for their effortless melodic warmth, high- spirited exuberance, and impeccable craftsmanship, although increasingly his music was regarded as Â“old-fashionedÂ” by the proponents of Modernism.

	Music in Review; John Brownlee Opera Theater - New York Times
		Someone must have figured, then, that the time was right, not to say ripe, for a revival of Vittorio Giannini's tonally accessible opera from 1953, "The Taming of the Shrew," which was duly presented on Wednesday night at the Manhattan School, with repeats last night and at 2:30 P.M. tomorrow.
		During his lifetime (1903-1966), Giannini refused to be seduced by any form of modernism.
		But mostly the problem seemed to be Giannini's music, blandly bustling but not really ebullient, and not lyrical or beautiful enough to transcend the clutter, like Verdi's effusions for the young lovers in "Falstaff" -- the score this one most clearly seeks to emulate.

		Rather, the “traditionalists” viewed themselves as inheritors of a living legacy, to which they sought to make their own individual contributions, with recourse to the full range of classical forms and techniques, and with the aim of personal expression and communication.
		Creston and Giannini were approximate contemporaries, while for many years Giannini and Flagello maintained a master-apprentice relationship.
		Creston’s sonata is an early work, written before his language had reached maturity; Giannini’s dates from the last years of his life, when his style seemed to be charting a new course; Flagello’s sonata appeared at the midpoint of his career and the apex of his compositional development.

	Walter Simmons: Voices in the Wilderness
		Deeply imbued at an early age with the aesthetic values and compositional techniques of the European musical heritage, he devoted his life -- as both composer and teacher -- to applying these principles to his own music, and to passing them on to the next generation of serious music students.
		Composed at a time that virtually defined itself by its rejection of traditional values, little of Giannini's music was taken seriously by the music profession during his lifetime, although his meticulous craftsmanship commanded considerable respect and his personal warmth and magnetism earned him great affection.
		Following are brief excerpts representative of many facets of Giannini's musical style.
