about
Francesco Durante (born in Frattamaggiore 31st March 1684, died Naples 30th September 1755) was a highly respected composer and teacher during the first half of the 18th century in Naples. He chose to concentrate on sacred music rather than the more fashionable opera composition favoured by other Neapolitans and his works became examples of 'good composition' used for teaching. Durante was primo maestro at the two major Conservatorii in Naples S Onofrio and S Maria di Loreto and taught composers ranging from Sacchini to Piccini and Paisiello. Not a composer of a large quantity of work, his music exhibits great skill and invention and a dramatic flair well suited to the style of music he chose to write. http://www.duranteproject.com/ User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
