An oratorio by this composer allegorizes a military victory by Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg at Corfu. This composer’s solo vocal music, such as “Cessate, omai cessate,” (ches-SA-te, oh-ma-EE ches-SA-te) was defended in a book on his chamber cantatas by musicologist Michael Talbot. The sixth movement of this composer’s most popular choral piece is scored for soprano, continuo, and oboe or violin alone, and is a setting of the words (*) “Domine deus, rex coelestis” (“chay-LESS-tees”). An alto plays Holofernes in his only surviving oratorio, Juditha Triumphans, which is numbered 644 in the RV catalog of his (10[1])works and was written while he (10[1])worked at the Ospedale della Pietà orphanage for girls. For 10 (10[1])points, name this Italian baroque composer of a Gloria in D Major, as well as The Four Seasons. ■END■
