João de Sousa Carvalho (22 February 1745c. 1798) was the foremost Portuguese composer of his generation. Born in Estremoz, he studied music from 1753 at the Colégio dos Santos Reis in Vila Viçosa, then from 1761 at the Conservatorio di S Onofrio in Naples. In 1766 his setting of Metastasio’s operatic libretto ''La Nitteti'' was performed in Rome. The following year, he joined the Irmandade de S Cecília at Lisbon and was appointed professor of counterpoint in the Seminário da Patriarcal, where he later served as ''mestre'' (1769–1773) and ''mestre de capela'' (1773–1798). In 1778 he became music teacher to the royal family. He died in Alentejo. His numerous church works are written in a style similar to that of Niccolò Jommelli and, sometimes, Haydn. Several of his ''opere serie'' and serenatas were performed at the royal palaces of Ajuda and Queluz. Some of his keyboard music survives and is occasionally played today. ==Some compositions== *''L’amore industrioso'', 1769 (revived 1943, 1967) *''Eumene'' (dramma serio per musica), 1773 *''L’Angelica'' (serenata), 1778 *''Perseo'' (serenata), 1779 *''Testoride argonauta'' (dramma), 1780 (revived 1987) *''Seleuco, re di Siria'' (dramma), 1781 *''Everardo II, re di Lituania'' (dramma), 1782 *''Penelope nella partenza da Sparta'' (dramma per musica), 1782 *''L’Endimione'' (dramma per musica), 1783 *''Tomiri'' (dramma per musica), 1783 *''Adrasto, re degli Argivi'' (dramma per musica), 1784 *''Nettuno ed Egle'' (favola pastorale), 1785 *''Alcione'' (dramma per musica), 1787 *''Numa Pompilio II, re dei romani'' (serenata), 1789 * (Fiat Misericordia ) - cooperative transcription of the score from the manuscript in the (Wiki-score ) platform. *Masses, 1769, 1789, 1792 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「João de Sousa Carvalho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
