Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli

Italian composer (1752–1837)

Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli as Italian composer (1752–1837).

Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli was born at Naples in 1752. His recorded nationality is Italy.

The concert hall and the public audience were new in this period; music was beginning to be written for buyers rather than employers.

He worked as composer, conductor and musicologist.

The instruments recorded are organ.

His work is classed as opera.

He performed with Académie des beaux-arts.

What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.

That the work came out of Italy shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.

Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli died in 1837, aged 85. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
