Live and act

Domenico Dalla Bella was the cathedral music director in Treviso at the beginning of the 18th century. He composed his church music in the strict polyphonic style antico , in the double-choir style of Venice and in the concert style with instrumental accompaniment. The works that have survived include masses, a requiem, a two-choir Te Deum with instruments ad libitum, two four-part Gloria with strings, as well as several motets and psalm settings.

Around 1700 Dalla Bella had his collection of trio sonatas for 2 violins, obbligato cello and organ op. 1 printed in Venice. Only reprints of these works by Estienne Roger from Amsterdam from 1704 have survived. Four sonatas for cello and basso continuo have been preserved as manuscripts . All sonatas follow the four-movement type of the church sonata, the trio sonatas with the typical interplay in the upper parts are based on the models of Arcangelo Corelli .
