Johann Nepomuk Cavallo (composer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Nepomuk Cavallo (born May 5, 1840 in Munich ; † October 4, 1917 in Altötting ) was a German composer, organist, pianist, choir director and singing teacher.

Life

Cavallo came from a family who originally immigrated from Italy. The family relationship to the church musician Fortunatus Cavallo, who worked in Regensburg, and his son Wenzeslaus Cavallo is likely, but has not yet been proven. The parents mentioned are Johann Nepomuk Cavallo (1784–1858), who was the violinist of the court orchestra in Munich, and his wife, Maria, née Bachi (1796–1870). The composer, born in Munich in 1819 and active as an organist and pianist in Paris, Johann Peter Cavallo was his older brother.

By a ministerial resolution of April 22, 1881, Cavallo was employed as an assistant in singing lessons and in the direction of choral music for the music teacher Alois Pacher (1822-1883) at the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich, who was on leave due to illness. After Pacher was relieved of his position in February 1882, Cavallo finally took over the position. With a resolution of August 20, 1898, he was relieved of his position at his own request “because of physical suffering and the incapacity to work” and this was given to the singing teacher at the new high school in Regensburg, Carl Heffner . Cavallo lived in Munich all his life, where he was granted the right of home in 1865 and citizenship in 1870. He was married to the Munich innkeeper daughter Maria Haussner. He was buried in the old southern cemetery in Munich.
