Leonardo (Lionardo) (Ortensio Salvatore de [di]) Leo
(San Vito degli Schiavoni [now San Vito dei Normanni], 5 August 1694 - Naples, 31 October 1744)
Italian composer and teacher. He was one of the leading Neapolitan composers of his day, especially of theatre and church music. The son of Corrado de Leo and Rosabetta Pinto, he entered the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini at Naples in 1709, where his earliest known work, a sacred drama, L’infedeltà Abbattuta, was performed by his fellow students in 1712. In 1714 he produced an opera, Il Pisistrato, for the court theatre. He later held various posts at the royal chapel and taught at the conservatory. His operas include La ’mpeca scoperta (1723), a comic opera in Neapolitan dialect; and Demofoonte (1735) and L’Olimpiade (1737), both serious operas. Leo is probably best remembered for the comic opera Amor vuol sofferenze (1739). His sacred works include six or seven oratorios, of which Santa Elena al Calvario (1732) was particularly esteemed; six masses; and a Miserere (1739) for double choir. He also wrote instrumental works, among them six concerti for cello and strings, organ fugues, and harpsichord toccatas. Leo’s serious operas suffer from a coldness and severity of style, but in his comic operas he shows a keen sense of humour.

Grazie maestro Leo,padre della scuola barocca napoletana!

The Neapolitan School of Leonardo Leo & Durante left a permanent mark on Western Art Music - as this wonderful Miserere (Psalm 51) attests and was responsible for training several dozen influential operatic composers including Jommelli, Traetta & Piccini - what a teacher he must have been !
