Pietro Torri (c. 1650 – 6 July 1737) was an Italian Baroque composer.[1]

Life

Torri was born in Peschiera del Garda, Republic of Venice.[2] From 1684 to 1688, he 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.[1][3][4][5]

Over the following years he lived in Mons, Namur, Lille, Compiègne, and Valenciennes; where his compositions were performed.[2][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.[1][4] He died in Munich.

Compositions

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] andLe Triomphe de la paix, a cantata celebrating the Treaty of Rastatt (1714).[2]

Sacred music

Magnificat

Main article: Magnificat (Torri)

Torri likely composed his Magnificat in C major for double choir and orchestra 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.[2][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]

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. The first of these volumes contains 14 chamber cantatas, each consisting exclusively of a recitative and a da capo aria. The other volumes contain such arias without recitative. The Trastulli are, at least in part, extracted from larger vocal works:[136][137]

  • The first volume contains 14 Recitative and Aria pairs:
  1. Con insoliti fregi (aria: "Non si scorge più dipinto"; S, vdg)[138][139]

  9. Bella diva (aria: "Per te sola sorge l'alba"; S, b, vdg/fl)[154][155]
  10. Seguono i tuoi vestigi (aria: "Quante pompe ha la bellezza"; B, b, fl)[156][157]
  11. Del Latio antico e delle Greche scole (aria: "Ben traluce nell'aspetto"; S, b, vdg/ob)[158][159]
  12. Or va con tanta luce (aria: "Due seni più felici"; S, b, vdg/ob)[160][161]
  13. L'opre nostre e i pensieri (aria: "Voi sarete con"; S, b, fl)[162][163]
  14. Vi piova il ciel benigno (aria: "L'aureo stame vital"; S, b, fl)[164][165]
