Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... P > Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina The greatest composer of liturgical music of all time, born at Palestrina (ancient Praeneste ) in 1514 or 1515, according to Baini , Riemann, and others, according to Haberl , in 1526; died at Rome , 2 February, 1594. His early history is practically unknown. Giuseppe Ottavia Pittoni (1657-1743), in "notizie dei maestri di cappella si di Rome che ultramontani, 1600-1700", a manuscript in the Vatican , relates that young Pierluigi sang in the streets of Rome while offering for sale the products of his parents farm and that he was heard on such an occasion by the choirmaster of Santa Maria Maggiore, who, impressed by the boy's beautiful voice and pronounced musical talent, educated him musically . As to the identity of the choirmaster, tradition gives no clue. Some hold that Palestrina was taught by Jacques Arcadelt (1514-60), choirmaster and composer in Rome from 1539 to 1549. The opinion, so long held, that Claude Goudimel (1505-72) was his principal teacher has now been definitively abandoned . As far as is known , he began his active musical life as organist and choirmaster in his native city in 1544; his

Composers: Palestrina, Giovanni Pierluigi da (1525 - 1594) Palestrina, Giovanni Pierluigi da ( b ?Palestrina, ?3 February, 1525 - d Rome, 2 February, 1594) Palestrina was a pupil of Mallapert and Firmin Lebel at Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome, where he was a choirboy from (at least) 1537. He became organist of Sante Agapite, Palestrina, in 1544, and in 1547 he married Lucrezia Gori there; they had three children. Following the Bishop of Palestrina's election as pope (Julius III) he was appointed maestro di cappella of the Cappella Guilia in Rome (1551), where he issued his first works; during 1555 he also sang in the Cappella Sistina. Two of Rome's greatest churches then procured him as maestro di cappella, St John Lateran (1555-60), and Santa Maria Maggiore (1561-6), and in 1564, Cardinal Ippolito d'Este engaged him to oversee music at his Tivoli estate. From 1566 he also taught music at the Seminario Romano, before returning to the Cappella Giulia as maestro in 1571. During the 1560s and 1570s, Palestrina's fame and influence increased rapidly through his published works. His reputation was so great that in 1577 he was asked to rewrite the church's main plainchant books, following the Council of Trent's guidelines. His most well know mass, Missa Papae Marcelli, may have been composed to satisfy the council's requirements for musical cogency and textual intelligibility. He was always in tune with the Counter-Reformation spirit; after his wife's death in 1580 he considered taking holy orders, but instead married a year later. His second wife was Virginia Dormoli, the widow of a wealthy fur merchant, and it was through his investments in her business that his financial strains were eased, and his last years at St Peter's were amongst his most productive.

He spent most of his career in the city. Palestrina came of age as a musician under the influence of the northern European style of polyphony, which owed its dominance in Italy primarily to two influential Franco-Flemish composers, Guillaume Dufay and Josquin des Prez , who had spent significant portions of their careers there. Italy itself had yet to produce anyone of comparable fame or skill in polyphony.

Giovanni Pierluigi Da Palestrina Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina was born in 1525 and died in 1594. His surname comes from the place of his birtha small town twenty miles from Rome. A choirboy at S. Maria Maggiore, Rome, in 1537, he was appointed organist and maestro di cappella at Palestrina cathedral in 1544 under the Bishop who later became Pope Julius III. After seven years his former summoned him to Rome as chapelmaster of the Cappella Giulia at St Peter's, in which post he served from 1551 to 1554 and again from 1571 until his death His choir here consisted of Italians, being thus sharply distinguished from the choir of the Sistine Chapel, which since Dufay 's days and before had been almost entirely recruited from Flanders. Soon after Palestrina's appointment he brought out a book of masses, which are the first ever dedicated to a Pope by an Italian composer. The fact may be remembered as a symbol of the rising influence of the native school. A few years later Palestrina was appointed a member of the Sistine Choir, but was subsequently dismissed by Paul IV because of his unacceptable married status, and was quickly retired with a pension. After other appointments, as choirmaster at St John Lateran in 1555-60, at S. Maria Maggiore in 1561-6, and at the Roman Seminary in 1566-71. As earlier mentioned, Palestrina returned to the Julian Chapel in 1571 as chapelmaster, remaining there until he died in 1594. In the 1560s he had also directed concerts at the Tivoli villa of Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, and had a Mass commissioned by the Duke of Mantua, who tried to persuade him to leave Rome for the Mantuan court.
