About

Perhaps more than any other musician living in northern Italy in the 18th century, Andrea Luchesi received the finest musical and cultural education, thanks to a series of teachers who included some of the greatest composers and pedagogues of the period: Valentino Cocchi, celebrated Neapolitan opera composer; Giuseppe Saratelli, maestro di cappella at St. Mark’s in Venice; Padre Paolucci, the favorite pupil of the renowned Padre Martini; Padre Vallotti, the most important musical theorist in 18th-century Italy; and Baldassarre Galuppi.

Already a professional musician at the age of twenty (he was born in 1741), Luchesi was employed at numerous churches, Venetian theatre and, above all, at the celebrated Ospedali degl’Incurabili. In 1771, his fame in the city earned him a commission from the Venetian government to compose a Requiem Mass to commemorate the death of the Spanish ambassador to Venice, the Count of Montealegre; the work was opulently performed at the State funeral in the church of San Geremia.
