Pietro Torri

Pietro Torri (Peschiera del Garda, c. 1665 or earlier[1] – Munich, 6 July 1737) was an Italian Baroque composer.[2]

Life
Portrait of Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria (1662–1726) by Joseph Vivien.

From 1684 to 1688, Torri served as the organist and choirmaster of the Margrave of Bayreuth, and later entered into the service of the Elector of Bavaria Maximilian II Emanuel. In 1692 he followed the prince with some gentlemen of the court orchestra to the Spanish Netherlands and later settled with them in Brussels where Torri married the daughter of the ballet master François Rodier.[2][3][4][5]

Over the following years he lived in Mons, Namur, Lille, Compiegne, and Valenciennes; where his compositions were performed.[1][4]

In 1715 he returned to Munich, where he occasionally composed cantatas; and an opera annually. In 1726 Maximilian died, and his son Charles Albert succeeded him to the throne of Bavaria. For this occasion, Torri composed a musical tribute to the new ruler: the allegorical cantata Bavaria. This work alluded to an early Bavarian claim to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. On the death of Giuseppe Antonio Bernabei in 1732, he was finally officially appointed as choirmaster at the court of Bavaria. Charles Albert was elected emperor in 1726 as Charles VII Albert and Torri became a musician at the imperial court.[2][4]

Compositions

Along with about 50 operas, Torri wrote serenades, oratorios, cantatas, psalms, and a recorder sonata in C major. His most famous works for voices and orchestra include his Magnificat (for some time erroneously attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Lotti),[6][7] Le Triomphe de la paix, a cantata celebrating the Treaty of Rastatt (1714),[1] and a Te Deum for Maximilian II Emanuel. The rediscovery of Torri and revival of his works is largely due to the German composer Christoph Hammer, a musicologist and performer of early music.

Sacred music

Magnificat
Main article: Magnificat (Torri)

Torri likely composed his Magnificat in C major for double choir and orchesta in the 1690s.[98] The work is scored for double SATB choir, two trumpets, bassoon, strings (two violin parts and two viola parts) and basso continuo/organ.[1][99][100]

The Magnificat in C major, BWV Anh. 30, is Johann Sebastian Bach's arrangement of Torri's Magnificat.[98][101] In Bach's version[102][103] of the work there are an additional trumpet and timpani.[104][105]

Masses

Oratorios

Torri wrote more oratorios than any composer before George Frideric Handel (see also several dramatic oratorios mentioned above among Torri's dramatic works):[110]

  • Abelle (Brussels 1692–1701; Munich 1734).[111]
  • San Gaetano (Brussels 4 April 1705).[38]
  • La vanità del mondo (Brussels 5, 12 and 19 March 1706), libretto by Carlo Francesco Melchiori.[38][110]
  • Giacobbe, also known as Rebecca (Brussels, Mons or Namur 1705–1714).[112]
  • Genesio (Brussels, Mons or Namur 1705–1714).[113]
  • Elia (Munich, Spring 1730), libretto by Leopoldo di Villati.[114]
  • Abramo (Munich, Spring 1731), libretto by Domenico Lalli.[115][116]
  • Gionata (Munich c. 1733), libretto by Apostolo Zeno.[117]

Other

The Mus.ms. 30299 manuscript of the Berlin State Library not only contains a copy of Torri's Magnificat, but also following sacred music, from the same composer:[118][119]

Chamber music

Trastulli

The Trastulli (trifles) is a collection of 60 short vocal works surviving in a four-volume autograph, written between 1692 and 1701.
