我最喜欢的巴洛克音乐之一:Domenico Zipoli - Aria in F major

(2009-08-30 00:37:26) 下一个






probably one of the best the baroque era.
free advice: close your eyes, and ease your mind to the utmost peace and glory.

Domenico Zipoli (October 17, 1688, Prato, (Italy) - January 2, 1726, Cordoba, Argentina) was an Italian Baroque composer. As a Jesuit he volunteered to work in the Reductions of Paraguay where his musical expertise did much to develop the natural musical talents of the Guaranis. He is remembered as the most accomplished musician among Jesuit missionnaries.

Zipoli continues to be well known today for his keyboard music. His Italian compositions have always been known but recently some of his South American church music was discovered in Chiquitos, Bolivia: two Masses, two psalm settings, three Office hymns, a Te Deum laudamus and other pieces. A Mass copied in Potosí, Bolivia in 1784, and preserved in Sucre, Bolivia, seems a local compilation based on the other two Masses. His dramatic music, including two complete oratorios and portions of a third one, is mostly gone. Three sections of the 'Mission opera' San Ignacio de Loyola - compiled by Martin Schmid in Chiquitos many years after Zipoli's death, and preserved almost complete in local sources - have been attributed to Zipoli.

For decades, his music continued to be highly regarded by his Jesuit colleagues, decisively influencing later composers.
