Pasquale Cafaro [Caffarelli, Caffariello, Caffriello, Cafora]
(San Pietro in Galatina, 8 February 1715 - Naples, 25 October 1787)
Italian teacher and composer. In 1735 he entered at the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini, where his teachers included Lorenzo Fago and Leonardo Leo. He remained in Naples all his life, and between 1745 and 1771 established himself as a composer of oratorios, operas, cantatas and church music. On 11 July 1759 he succeeded Girolamo Abos as secondo maestro of his former conservatory in a post he held until his death. On 25 August 1768 he was appointed as a 'maestro di cappella soprannumerario' of the royal chapel in Naples. After the death of Giuseppe de Majo, 'primo maestro' of the royal chapel, he assumed that position on 21 December 1771. He also continued as 'maestro di musica della regina', later becoming 'maestro di musica della real camera'. As a teacher, his most notable student was Giacomo Tritto. As a composer, the majority of his works were sacred in the lyrical Neapolitan style of the mid-18th century. His output includes eight operas, 15 secular cantatas, six oratorios, three Masses, six Kyries, a Requiem, four motets, 12 Psalms, a litany, a Stabat mater (his best-known work), and three antiphons.
About the painting " The Young Violinist, or The Sorrow of Aminte " : The score readable on the music book is a passage from a madrigal composed by Erasmo Marotta, an Italian Jesuit composer, in 1600 ("Dolor che si crucii") after Tasso's Aminta. Marotta is best known for having composed a madrigal inspired by Aminte, a pastoral fable by Tasso published in 1573 and very well-known in the 17th century. This madrigal was printed in 1600 in Venice in a collection entitled Aminta musicale. ( Source : Musée du Louvre site des collections )
⚘️ PEARL...💐❤️💐💕💐❤️ A big heartfelt THANK YOU to you Mr. Pau NG for this very GREAT BEAUTIFUL ....👌.....Stabat mater a quattro voci!...🌟..Divine voices 💖🎉🎉🎉🎉🎭🥂🥂⚘️🎁🙏🙏❤🌞
Delectable Stabat Mater by a very talented Italian composer who has been neglected. A Neapolitan Maestro where High Baroque was still the main style especially in Sacred Music like this gorgeous Spirit lifting music, the listener can hear the grief of Mary over her Son’s Crucifixion.❤Love this Pau thank you for sharing it.
Very beautiful music - superbly interpreted. In the Neapolitan tradition he is considered the link between the generation of Leonardo Leo and Francesco Durante and that of Domenico Cimarosa and Giovanni Paisiello. He died in Naples in October 1787 and was buried in the chapel of S. Cecilia of the Church of Santa Maria di Montesanto, together with Leonardo Leo and other musicians of the Royal Palatine Chapel, next to the tomb of Alessandro Scarlatti.
How did his operas sound? They must have been brilliant, judging by the aria, which can be found on the Internet: P. Cafaro: Se balena il ciel talora (Antgono I, 5) 1770. Which A. Mozart immediately used - borrowed - in his opera Lucio Silla, 1772.K. 135.
Come sempre BELLISSIMO.
Very inspired composer. Naples was a fabulous source of talented artists, not only in the music field. This music is beautiful, direct and well written. A real gem. Thank you, Pau NG!!
Danke sehr, Herr Pau NG!
