MARCELLO, BENEDETTO (1686-1739)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 685 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARCELLO, BENEDETTO (1686-1739) , - Italian musical composer, was born in 1686, either on the 31st of July or on the 1st of August. He was of noble family (in his compositions he is frequently described as "Patrizio Veneto "), and although a pupil of Lotti and Gasparini, was intended by his father to devote himself to the law. In 1711 he was a member of the
Council
  of
Forty
 , and in 1730 went to Pola as Provveditore. His
health
  having been impaired by the climate of Istria, he retired after eight years to Brescia in the capacity of Camerlengo, and died there on the 24th of July 1739.
Marcello
  is best remembered by his Estro poetico-armonico (Venice, 17241727), a musical setting for voices and strings
of the first fifty
Psalms
 , as paraphrased in Italian by G. Giustiniani. They were much admired by Charles Avison, who with John Garth brought out an edition with
English
  words (London, 1757). Some extracts are to be found in Hawkins's History of Music. His other works are chiefly cantatas, either for one voice or several; the library of the Brussels conservatoire possesses some interesting volumes of chamber-cantatas composed for his mistress. Although he produced an opera, La Fede riconosciuta, at Vicenza in 1702, he had little sympathy with this form of composition, and vented his opinions on the state of musical drama at the time in the satirical pamphlet Il Teatro ally moda, published anonymously in Venice in 1720. This little
work
 , which was frequently reprinted, is not only extremely amusing, but is also most valuable as a contribution to the history of opera.
A catalogue of his works is given in Monatshefte fur Musikgeschichte, vol. xxiii. (1891).
