Giorgio Miceli (21 October 1836 in Reggio Calabria – 1895, Italy) was an Italian opera composer who played mandolin and wrote music for the instrument.〔Philip James Bone (''The Guitar and Mandolin – Biographies of Celebrated Players and Composers for these Instruments'' ), London: Schott, 1914, pp. 207-208.〕 He was the composer for the operetta ''Zoe'' and for the music ''A Grand Serenade for Mandolin Band''.〔 He wrote other works for both the mandolin and the guitar, as well as for other instruments.〔 His son Giuseppe Miceli was also a successful performer and composer for the mandolin, including ''Danza Zingaresca'' for mandolin with piano accompaniment.〔 ==Family history== Giorgio Miceli was a son of well-off parents, who participated in the Italian revolution of 1847.〔 His father was sentenced to row in the galleys as punishment, and Giorgio was sent to Naples.〔 He had begun to learn mandolin from his uncle when he was seven-years old, and in Naples, he continued to study music under Gallo and under Giuseppe Lillo at the Naples Conservatory.〔 His operetta ''Zoe'', performed in 1852, was his first; he was only 16.〔 ''Zoe'' was given in 40 performances, and he had a second opera the next year which performed similarly.〔 His plays were banned by the Naples authorities and he became a teacher.〔 He continued to play, entering musical competitions in Naples and Florence.〔 His work ''A Grand Serenade for Mandolin Band'', done for the Maritime Exhibition in Naples did well, and he was knighted as a result in 1875.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giorgio Miceli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
