 Giovanni Battista Pergolesi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 was held up as a model of the Italian style during this quarrel, which divided Paris's musical community for two years.
Much of Igor Stravinsky's ballet, Pulcinella, which ostensibly reworks pieces by Pergolesi, is actually based on spurious works.

 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.

 Pergolesi, Giovanni Battista (1710 - 1736)
Pergolesi's early death left much of his music unpublished, and his subsequent fame led to the wrong attribution of a number of works, as composers or promoters sought to make use of his posthumous reputation.
Pergolesi's opera La Serva Padrona, an intermezzo performed together with another opera, was first staged in Naples in 1733.
Stravinsky's delightful ballet score for Dyagilev's Pulcinella made use of music that was entirely, if erroneously attributed to Pergolesi.

 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.
Research for the 18-volume edition has determined the extent of Pergolesi's Authentic compositions: four opere serie, two intermezzi, two commedie musicali, one dramma sacro, one oratorio, two Masses, various works for a Vesper service, the breathtaking Stabat Mater, six cantatas, seven instrumental pieces, and a few smaller works.
This extraordinary posthumous notoriety created an enormous demand for his music, a demand that unscrupulous copyists and publishers did not hesitate to satisfy by placing Pergolesi's name on other composers' works.

 Giovanni Battista Pergolesi Biography / Biography of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi Biography
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.
Pergolesi's career as a professional composer was launched with the opera Salustia at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Naples in 1732.
The Italian composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) excelled in comic opera, and his works in this genre had a profound influence on the course of operatic history.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Giovanni Battista Pergolesi
Boyer, Notice sur la vie et les ouvrages de Giovanni Battista Pergolesi in Mercure de France (Paris, 1772); Blasis, Biografia di Pergolesi (Naples, 1817); Faustini-Fasini, Giovanni Battista di Pergolesi attraverso I suoi biografi (Naples, 1900); Villarosa, Littera biografica (Naples, 1831); Idem, Memorie di compositori di musica del regno di Napoli (Naples, 1840).
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.
The work, by which he is most remembered, is the "Stabat mater" for two-part choir and stringed orchestra and organ, which he wrote shortly before his death for the Minorite monastery of San Luigi in Naples.

 Domenico Gallo: 12 Trio Sonatas
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.
There was a family of musicians named Gallo based in Naples, Pergolesi's birthplace, and it is possible that Domenico was connected to them.
Gallo appears to have been born in 1730 in Venice, where he worked as a violinist and composer.

 GIOVANNI BATTISTA PERGOLESI, Biography, Discography
The first work to attract attention was his sacred drama, La Conservatione di San Guglieme d'Aquitania (1731), given its first performance by his fellow students at a Naples monastery.
It was first performed on September 27, 1732 and was received with great enthusiasm by the public.
Attempting to get back into the theater, Pergolesi wrote a deliberately Neapolitan flavored work Lo Frate 'Nnamorato, (libretto by G. Federico).

Pergolesi had a brief life, but left an unforgettable mark on music history with his Stabat Mater, his best-known work.
This recording shows off Pergolesi’s “genius” through a selection of movements, and is perhaps better judged as a best-of collection.
The recreator, Malcolm Bruno, does not hide his creation of a compilation, combining bits and pieces of Pergolesi’s music to attempt to render a greater work than what he might have written.

 Giovanni Battista Pergolesi --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - Your gateway to all Britannica has to offer!
Italian artist Giovanni Battista Cipriani was noted for his historical paintings and murals and especially for his pen and ink drawings.
He excelled in painting animals as well as historical, landscape, and mythological works.
Traveling opera troupes took up La serva padrona, and in 1752 the success of a Paris production set off the controversy known as the guerre des bouffons (“war of the buffoons”), with musical forgers vying to produce spurious works of Pergolesi, leaving some uncertainty about the authenticity of works attributed to him.

 Stabat Mater - Pergolesi
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).
This CD tries to paint a picture of the festivities that took place in the streets of Naples in the 18th century during processions hold in honor of the Virgin of the Seven Sorrows, on the Friday before Palm Sunday.
It is known that in his early years he composed a Stabat Mater in A minor.

 Around Naples Encyclopedia 22
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.
Recently, Naples held a months-long revival of the music of Pergolesi, many of whose works have not been heard since they were first performed.
Like many of his contemporaries, he was a very versatile composer; his best known composition, one which is still very much part of the standard orchestral repertoire today is a serious, sacred work: the Stabat Mater.

 Stabat Mater - Brunetti
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.
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".
Giovanni Gualberto Brunetti (1706 - 1787) lived a large part of his life in Pisa, Italy, where he was director of music of the cathedral.

 HOASM: Giovanni Battista Pergolesi
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.
In 1736 he moved into a Franciscan monastery in Puzzuoli, where during his final illness he composed the cantata Orfeo, his Stabat Mater, and the Salve Regina.
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.

In his brief lifetime Pergolesi produced many operas, oratorios, cantatas, shorter sacred music, and some instrumental works.
Bach is known to have adapted and performed this work.
In spite of tuberculosis, which took him at 26 years of age, Pergolesi maintained an optimistic outlook, continuing to compose to the very end.

There seems, however, no ground for supposing that this work made any noticeable difference to the composers already established reputation as a writer of comic opera.
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.
Complete lists of his compositions are given in Eitners Quellen-Lexicon and in Groves Dictionary (new ed.).

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.
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.
Regrettably for the musicologists, Pergolesi did not write much of what we would like him to have written.

 Giovanni Pergolesi
From the late 17th century onwards, mainly through the contributions of leading opera composers such as Feo, Galuppi, Hasse, Pergolesi, Jommelli, Gassmann, Cimarosa and Gossec, individual movements of the requiem became gradually larger, the orchestration richer and the solo vocal writing more elaborate.
In some cases, single texts, usually the sequence and the responsory, were set separately, either as independent motets or as a means of providing vivid contrast within chanted forms of the funeral service.

Unlike the Vesper Psalms of Biber, Monteverdi, Cavalli, Rosenmüller, Rigatti and other 17th century composers, Pergolesi's works are a much more modest sounding affair.
Pergolesi's music is somewhat like Vivaldi's in style.
This recording is well worth investigating by lovers of Baroque music as well as those new to Baroque sacred music.

 Giovanni Battista Pergolesi : Stabat Mater
Even his name was given to him by mistake.
Compared to the Scarlatti work on which it was modelled, Pergolesi's harmonic texture is leaner while his melodies reject the traditional thematic developmental favour of a structure dependent upon the juxtaposition of short, rhythmic, symmetrical motifs.
Even though Pergolesi modelled his work — as far as the general structure is concerned — upon Scarlatti's already existing work, he completely altered both the architectural form and the range of expressiveness.
