COMPOSERS

Life

His entire career, from training to his premature passing, was situated entirely in the first phase of Italian Romanticism, in the midst of the establishment of the melodrama of Bellini and Donizetti.

Born in Parma in 1803, Giovanni Luigi Bazzoni received his musical training in his home city. He soon showed a strong interest in composition and dedicated himself to works intended for both religious worship and the concert hall.

Rehearsals in the Cathedral

It is said that Bazzoni rehearsed his motets directly in the Cathedral, involving young singers with great enthusiasm.

Works

Among Bazzoni's works are masses, motets, and sacred compositions, in addition to chamber works. His music was performed regularly in Parma.
