Partner of the Month: Festival Antropotyátr Meet ... Cellist and Composer Domenico Gabrielli  Domenico Gabrielli (*15. 4. 1651 or 19. 10. 1659 - †10. 7. 1690) Italian Baroque composer and cellist
Domenico Gabrielli was born on 15 April 1651 or 19 October 1659 in
Bologna. He studied composition with Giovanni Legrenzi (1626 - 1690) in
Venice and the cello with Petronio Franceschini (1651 – 1680) in
Bologna.
From 1680 until his death he was in the orchestra of the church of San Petronio. In 1676 he was elected to the Bologna Accademia Filarmonica and in 1683 he became its president. During the 1680s he was widely recognized as a cello virtuoso and composer of vocal music. Starting in 1683 he composed 12 operas premiered in Venice, Modena, Turin and Bologna. He was allowed frequent leave of absence from the church of San Petronio, but in 1687 he was for few months, temporarily dismissed for not attending his duties. He missed the moth important event of the year, the feast of St Petronius. He immediately went to Modena, where he entered the regular musician service at the court of Francesco II d'Este (1660 - 1694), Duke of Modena, for whom he often previously performed. His musician prestige allowed him to be reinstalled at the church of San Petronio in 1688. In 1689 he composed 7 Ricercari, one of the earliest attested works for cello solo. He was called "Il Minghino del violoncello", Bolognese dialect form meaning "Dominic of the cello". Domenico Gabrielli died on 10 July 1690 in Bologna.
