Francesco Onofrio Manfredini: 12 Concerti Grossi | Op. 3 | 1718
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- Manfredini is best known for his Christmas Concerto or subtitle of Pastorale per il Santissimo Natale, which forms the last string concerto on this video. All 12 concerti Op.3 are performed here, with propulsive yet fresh and polished playing by Remy's small Baroque string band. Manfredini studied violin under Torelli. The hints of Albinoni and in concertos IX & XII the use of only 2 violins and basso continuo present a road somewhere between concerto and trio sonata at times. These are delightfully colourful works alternate between solo 2 violins and the ripieno or full body of strings:

Francesco Onofrio Manfredini was an Italian Baroque composer, violinist, and church musician. He was born on June 22, 1684, at Pistoia, Italy, to a trombonist in the parish church of Pistoia. As a teenager he was sent to Bologna, then a part of the Papal States, to study violin with Giuseppe Torelli, who was a leading figure in the development of the concerto grosso. Francesco also took instruction in composition and counterpoint from Giacomo Antonio Perti, maestro di capella of the Basilica of San Petronio from 1696 when the orchestra was temporarily disbanded.
In 1700, the 16-year-old Manfredini went to Ferrara to take a job as first violinist in the orchestra of the Church of San Spirito. In 1704, however, he returned to Bologna, employed again in the re-formed orchestra of San Petronio. In the same year he became a member of the Accademia Filarmonica and published his first compositions, a set of twelve chamber sonatas (Op. 1). In 1709, he also published Sinfonie da chiesa (Op. 2), ostensibly chamber pieces, they, in fact, complemented the earlier chamber sonatas. After 1711, Manfredini spent an extended stay in Monaco, apparently in the service of Prince Antoine I. The prince had been a pupil of Louis XIV’s favorite composer Jean Baptiste Lully, whose conductor’s baton he had inherited.
In 1718 he would publish, in Bologna, his Concerti Grossi for two violins and basso continuo (THIS VIDEO), Op. 3, Nos. 1-12 which are dedicated to that ruler. Also copies of his 12 Sinfonie da chiesa, Op. 2 were found in the princely library. He also wrote an oratorio, Tommaso Moro. One indication of the nature of the relationship is that Prince Antoine stood as godfather to Manfredini’s son Antonio Francesco; four other children were born to him during his stay in the principality.
He had returned to Pistoia in 1724 as maestro di capella at St. Phillip’s Cathedral. Shortly afterwards, he published four oratorios, presumably all written in the years 1725-1728. He held this post for 35 years until his death on October 6, 1762. Much of his music is presumed to have been destroyed after his death; only 43 published works and a handful of manuscripts are known. Two of his sons, Vincenzo and Giuseppe, had careers of some note. The former was appointed maestro di capella of the Italian opera in St. Petersburg. Giuseppe became a castrato singer. It has been said that his name “may have…disappeared had he not composed a Christmas Concerto (No. 12 of Op. 3).”
Manfredini was born during a particularly fertile period for the production of great composers. Born within 16 months of him were Rameau, Walther, Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Domenico Scarlatti. Against the glare of these first-magnitude stars (and the not much older Telemann and Vivaldi), the lesser but noteworthy talent of Manfredini is easy to overlook. Manfredini was not a prolific composer, or if he was, an undue amount of his work has been lost, but there are 43 published instrumental works, nine oratorios (music lost), and a couple of unpublished works. Manfredini’s principal compositions reflect his training with Torelli in Bologna. They include sets of concerti grossi, in chamber and church form, and trio sonatas. His oratorios include S Filippo Neri trionfante and Tommaso Moro. Although he composed oratorios, only his secular works remain in the repertoire. A contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi, his extant work shows the influence of the latter.
Cover art:
Pistoia though a small town, it boasts an ancient pipe organ building tradition. For over one hundred and fifty years two authentic “dynasties” of organ builders worked in Pistoia, the Agati and Tronci families, passing the job from father to son. On the cover of this video is Organo Cacioli-Tronci, built in 1745, standing in the same church of Santi Propsero Prospero e Filippo where Manfredini worked until his death on October 6, 1762.
Performed by:
Ludger Rémy, harpsichordist/pianist and conductor

Un altro grande compositore tra quelli considerati minori!
Non conoscevo Manfredini, è una musica veramente differenziata e complessa, una scuola molto evoluta, paragonabile ad una cattedrale Gotico-Romanica, come la Basilica di Orvieto o San Francesco ad Assisi, una composizione che racchide al suo interno infinite costruzioni-variazioni. Insomma una miracolo di musica. BRAVO MANFREDINI !
The cathedral in Orvieto is gorgeous! I stayed there for a few weeks studying art and architecture. I wish I could go back.
What a breath taking piece of work I have never ever ever heard such a mesmerizing classical music before I am up all night listening to it thx
TRULY BEAUTIFUL

Muy diligente
I have never heard of composer Manfredini before. I am very glad that, now, I have. I completely enjoyed!
ME TOO
this must be better than heavy metal or just different yea
Even I Have Not Heard This Composer
Before , But Realy Love ❤️ What I Hear !
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same here. I just added this to my classical collection.
It's like discovering gold. I heard it for the first time on the radio and waited for them to say who that was. Looked him up and wonderd why he is so underrated. Right there with Bach if you ask me.
Once again, I have been introduced to a Composer I am not familiar with. What a joy to hear this outstanding Music.
Thank you Stephen for the comments and listening! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and wishing you and your family full of love, peace, good health and prosperity in 2023!
Grazie per la scoperta ! Il testo è molto utile per chi, come me, non conosceva questo musicista.
L'Italia è decisamente il paese più bello del mondo.
I AGREE
No, la Grecia e il paese piu bello del mondo!
se fossimo vissuti tra il 1700 ed il 1770,avremmo conosciuto tutti questi grandi compositori,incredibile mai più rivivibile sarebbe stato!
Восхитительное звучание струнных, удивительная синхронность исполнения! Упоительное барокко! Низкий поклон исполнителям, которые открывают миру безценные сокровища итальянского барокко, нечасто исполняемые в концертах в наши дни!

excelente músico
I have always liked Baroque music even when I was a teen music in my teen years didn't really speak to me
such talent and beauty. a most delightful selection of music.
Another underrated baroque composer. Manfredini is top class.
Francesco Onofrio Manfredini is one of those Italian composers of the baroque era who is overshadowed by his contemporary Vivaldi. 10:01
Manfredini was born in Pistoia in 1684, the same year in which his father had been appointed as a trombonist at the Cathedral. It is possible that Francesco received violin lessons from Giovanni Buonaventura Viviani who was maestro di cappella in Pistoia from 1687 to 1692. [MusicWeb International]
Manfredini was an Italian Baroque composer, violinist, and church musician. 12:34
Little is known about the life of the Italian composer Francesco Onofrio Manfredini. He seems to have had a connection with the court of Monaco during the reign of Antoine I, to whom his Concerti grossi, Op. 3 are dedicated. His name may well have disappeared, had he not composed a Christmas Concerto (No. 12), which forms part of these 12 charming Concerti grossi. They show the influence of Vivaldi and demonstrate a gift for easy melodic invention. [Naxos Music]
Baroque emphasizes dramatic, exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted, detail. 25:52
The wonderful thing is that Baroque music all sounds the same, so it's all good *smirk*
Thank you.
Maravilhosa música desse compositor barroco desconhecido até hoje para mim. Obrigado pela incrível experiência musical de aprecia-lo.
STRONG, VIVID, CLEAR, PLENTY OF JOY, DELICIOUS. COMPLETELY UNKNOWN TO ME TILL NOW !!! ... THANKS FOR SHARING !!!
Puur en supergoed!!! The Netherlands.
Deliciosas melodías, gracias, saludos desde Guatemala.
Sublime, celestial.
Charmant dans l'ensemble. Quelques morceaux sont même addicts... Je ne connaissais pas ce compositeur.
Descobri Manfredini estudando sonatas barrocas para flauta doce. Belissima escrita, um compositor fabuloso de incrivel tecnica e recursos que criou uma obra exuberante.
Wonderful!
No conocía a este compositor pero me ha gustado mucho la melodía de sus notas
Francesco Onofrio Manfredini: 12 Concerti Grossi | Op. 3 | 1718
He was born 1 year old before Bach and lived 12 years longer than He. Contemporary.
happiness to go 🐬💖✨if it’s not baroque it’s not a rock 🥰
Bravissimo! Encore!
Ein sehr schönes und beruhigendes Lied.🙏🙏
Igualmente a todos os comentários anteriores, não conhecia. Estou realmente extasiado com a beleza da Obra. Muito obrigado. Parabéns pela divulgação.
Quantos barrocos admiráveis, e ate recentemente estavam todos no esquecimento!
A great way to start the week!😄
Música Barroca, la más hermosa que existe ! ❤❤❤
Superb
Com décadas dedicadas à música e com longas estadas no Japão, Canadá e Itália em nenhum momento ouvi referência a Francesco Onofrio Manfredini. Certamente sua música enriquece o Barroco. Com atenção e surpresa estou apreciando a leveza de suas linhas melódicas e a habilidosa prática de suas harmonias sob a direção de Ludger Rémy, outro nome novo para mim.

I can't say for Japan but for Canada I am not surprised that you did not hear for Manfredini as Canada is one with the poorest Baroque scene in the world, you can find only Handel's messiah or Bach's St. John Passion every single year, over and over with few Vivaldi's four season's concerts with also very poor other mainstream baroque repertoire. Even with the world renowned Tafelmusik orchestra, Daniel Taylor countertenor and Violinist Jeanne Lamon (I was lucky to see them all at the stage on separate occasions), unfortunately Canada is not country for Baroque music lovers.
Tutto quello che è musica classica va bene . Non è conosciuto chi se ne frega, mi regala emozioni mi basta.
Very good Manfredini.
Muchas gracias por compartir tan hermosa y gentil música. ¡Gracias por la detallada explicación que acompaña a este genial vídeo!
Thank you also
I loved! Thanks for sharing
E' meraviglia!
No. 2 is especially charming, and starts off sounding like the Bach Violin Concerto (in D minor, I think).
Gracias !
Nice🎉
I hear a very strong motif in this from Händel's 12 Concerti Grossi, Op.6. No complaints though, as that one is my all-time favorite, and this one is also fantastic. Looks like Manfredini lived from 1684 - 1762 and George Frideric Händel from 1685 - 1759. I wonder which was first?🤔
👍
👏🎶👏🎵👏🎹👏🎼
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️🇧🇷
Where can one find the score and parts of these music?
Извонредно. Ви благодарам.
Not bad music at all. Thanks!
Un poco subestimado este gran violinista y compositor italiano en toda la mata del Barroco.
פרנצ'סקו מנפרדיני מלחין בעל רוח הקודש. כך לפחות נשמעים 12 קונצ'רטו גרוסו שהלחין
ok.
