COLONNA, GIOVANNI PAOLO (circa 16371695)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 715 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COLONNA, GIOVANNI PAOLO (circa 16371695) , Italian musician, was born in Bologna about 1637 and died in the same city on the 28th of November 1695. He was a
pupil
  of Filippuzzi in Bologna, and of Abbatini and Benevoli in Rome, where for a time he held the post of organist at S. Apollinare. A dated poem in praise of his music shows that he began to distinguish himself as a composer in 1659. In that year he was chosen organist at S. Petronio in Bologna, where on the 1st of November 1674 he was made chapel-piaster. He also became president of the Philharmonic
Academy
  of Bologna. Most of Colonna's works are for the
church
 , including settings of the
psalms
  for three, four, five and eight voices, and several masses and motets. He also composed an opera, under the
title
  Amilcare, and an oratorio, La Profezia d' Eliseo. The emperor
Leopold
  I. received a copy of every composition of Colonna, so that the imperial library in Vienna possesses upwards of 83
church
  compositions by him. Colonna's style is for the most
part
  dignified, but is not free from the inequalities of style and
taste
  almost unavoidable at a period when church musicwas in a state of transition, and had hardly learnt to combine the gravity of the old style with the brilliance of the new.
