Giacomo Giuseppe Saratelli

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giacomo Giuseppe Saratelli (* 1714 in Padua , † 1762 in Venice ) was a musician and composer working in Venice. Saratelli composed mainly sacred choral music as well as instrumental music.

life and work

Saratelli was a pupil of Antonio Lotti , who was then Kapellmeister at San Marco , who sponsored him and occasionally appointed him as a deputy. In literature, Saratelli is occasionally confused with his father of the same name, who composed the oratorio “Maria Vergine in traccia di Gesü smarrito” in 1699. His father published works in Padua from 1711 to 1719.

In 1736 Saratelli was recorded as the first organist at San Marco, in 1740 as vice-maestro di cappella , from 1732 to 1739 he was maestro di coro at the Ospedale dei Mendicanti in Venice, one of the most renowned music schools of its time. In 1747 he was appointed to succeed Antonio Lotti as Kapellmeister at San Marco in Venice, a post he held until 1752. A portrait of him is preserved at the Bologna Conservatory.
