about

Claudio Casciolini (Rome 9 November 1697 – Rome 18 January 1760) was an Italian composer. The son of Agostino and Veronica Finocchiola, he was born in Rome on November. From April 1726 until his death he sang bass at the church of San Lorenzo in Damaso where he may also have been maestro di cappella. On 14 Jan. 1724 he married Maria Teresa Mazza in the basilica of S. Lorenzo in Damaso; he had numerous children and lived in poverty in a small house near the it:Piazza della Chiesa Nuova. He was a member of the Congregation of S. Cecilia, for which he wrote various compositions. Casciolini wrote only church music. Although he lived during the period of baroque music he wrote exclusively in the antique Stile antico. This consisted of a cappella counterpoint in the style of Palestrina.
