Question

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 (15[1])on his chamber (15[1])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 (15[1])a setting of the words (*) “Domine deus, rex coelestis” (“chay-LESS-tees”). An alto plays Holofernes (10[1])in his (10[1])only surviving (10[1]-5[1])oratorio, Juditha Triumphans, which is numbered 644 in the RV catalog (10[1])of his works and was written while he worked at the Ospedale della Pietà orphanage (10[1])for girls. For 10 points, name this Italian baroque composer of a Gloria in D Major, as well as The (10[1])Four Seasons. ■END■
