About

Even noadays, Father Giovanni Battista Martini is only really well-known to music theorists and historians, collectors and teachers. Research by musicologists and interest on the part of performers only occasionally focuses on Father Martini as a composer of sacred and secular vocal music, but some of his instrumental works are sometimes performed.

Contrary to general belief, the Franciscan monk composed a vast quantity of very varied music that ranged from solo motets to instrumental concertos and music to accompany theatrical performances. This 18th century Italian composer fitted perfectly into the musical life of his times, a maestro di cappella attentive to church requirements and dedicated to the organ.

Father Martini left us an incredible number of compositions for organ, practically all of which are bound in six autograph volumes conserved in the Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale in Bologna.
