| Added by magataganm, 28 Oct 2017 Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni was an Italian Baroque composer in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Albinoni was born in Venice in the summer of 1671, the eldest son of a wealthy merchant who manufactured playing cards. From an early age Tomaso took violin lessons, though his teachers are unknown. He became proficient at both singing and violin, though was unable to perform publicly as he was not a member of the performers’ guild. He preferred to remain an adilettante, a man of independent means who entertained others with music. Undiscouraged by his inability to perform publicly, he turned to composition. His first compositions, in the genre of church music, proved rather unsuccessful. The only surviving work from this venture is his Mass for three unaccompanied male voices. This, the Magnificat in G Minor is often ascribed to him, but its authenticity has yet to be proven. Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomaso_Albinoni). Although originally written for Chorus (SATB), Violins, Violoncello and Basso Continuo, I created this arrangement of the Magnificat in G Minor for Solo Oboe & Strings (2 Violins, 2 Violas, Cello & Bass) | |||
