Life

Bonaventura Aliotti, known under the name Padre Palermino during his lifetime, worked in Palermo , Ferrara and Padua . Like his teacher Giovanni Battista Fasolo, he belonged to the Order of the Minorites. Aliotti first worked in Palermo and settled in Padua in 1671, where he created other church music. In October 1674 he moved to Ferrara and got a job as organist at the Church of the Laity Brotherhood "Confraternita della Morte". Of the eleven oratorios ascribed to him, only four have survived.

His best-known work is the oratorio “Il Sansone” from 1686. This was recorded in 2001, probably as his first work, by the “Ensemble Elyma” under Gabriel Garrido . Other oratorios are “Il Trionfo della morte per il peccato d'Adamo” and “Santa Rosalia” (1687). In 2020 "Il trionfo della morte" was published by Accent , interpreted by Les Traversées Baroques under the direction of Étienne Meyer. The three oratorios mentioned are available in modern reprints.
