Nicola
Porpora (1686-1768)
was a Neopolitan composer
and singing teacher. A
rival of Handel, he
formed an opera company
which performed his own
compositions all over
Europe. He was widely
acclaimed during his
lifetime both as a
composer and also as a
pedagogue, counting Haydn
among his students.
Regrettably, most of his
compositions have largely
fallen into obscurity
since his death.
Credidi
Propter is a
setting of Psalm 116,
originally for SSAA Upper
Voice Choir, Strings and
Organ Continuo, with
optional Viola part. It
has been edited by D. E.
Hyde, and arranged with
Piano
accompaniment.
