Jacopo (Giacomo) Puccini
(Celle dei Puccini, bap. 26 Jan 1712 - Lucca, 16 May 1781)

Italian composer, often called “Giacomo Puccini, Senior” to differentiate him from his more famous great grandson namesake from the late 19th century. His earliest studies were with local clerics before he was sent to Bologna where he came into contact with Padre Giovanni Battista Martini in 1732. After finishing his education, he returned to Lucca to become a member of the Cappella di Palazzo di Republica, and in 1740 he became maestro di cappella at the San Martin Cathedral in the city. Puccini was a prolific composer, whose works reflect the emerging galant style. They include 20 Masses (and numerous Mass movements), 12 Lamentations, 20 motets, a Requiem, 10 Te Deums, 58 Psalms, 20 versetti, 15 hymns, 10 Magnificats, and 18 oratorios, as well as vocal solfeggios. #ClassicalMusic
