Tommaso Giordani
(Napoli, c.1730 - Dublin, 24 February 1806)

Italian composer. Raised in a musical family that formed its own opera troupe in 1745, he traveled throughout Europe where he performed as a singer in the company. In 1753 he obtained a post as a singer at Covent Garden in London, later moving in 1764 to Dublin where he wrote his first operas (all in English). He returned to compose for the King’s Theatre in 1770 and then returned to Dublin in 1783 for the remainder of his life. A prolific composer who adapted readily to the English style, his works were popular. His music consists of 26 operas (and many insertions), an oratorio, three incidental music sets, 44 canzonetts, 27 concertos (mostly flute and violin), five odes/large cantatas, two symphonies, six quintets, 12 quartets, 17 trios, 31 duos, and 33 sonatas, as well as small works and dances. He also was a prolific composer of the English song. #ClassicalMusic
