Giorgio Buoni
Giorgio Buoni (* 1647 in Bologna ; † after 1693 ibid) was an Italian composer and music teacher of the Baroque .
Live and act
Giorgio Buoni worked as a priest and musician in the vicinity of the Basilica of San Petronio , where he was vicemaestro di cappella and grammar teacher for 16 years . He taught at the so-called Concerto dei Putti , a music school for boys who gave concerts under his direction, also outside of Bologna, in Cremona, Lucca, Milan and Prato. Giovanni Battista Bononcini was one of his students there.
Buoni published three collections of works for his students in Bologna. Each volume contains twelve works, each consisting of a short symphonia and three dances. The simplicity of the works from op. 1 and 2 suggests a didactic background. It is of interest that all sarabands are marked with the tempo "Presto", in contrast to the slow tempi that were the rule for sarabands in the early 18th century.
