Marco Giuseppe Peranda

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marco Giuseppe Peranda , also: Perandi (* around 1625 in Macerata ; † January 12, 1675 in Dresden ) was an Italian musician and composer of the Baroque.

Life

Alongside Vincenzo Albrici, Peranda is considered to be one of the most important Italian masters in Germany during the Baroque period . According to the Italian contemporary Agostino Rossi, Perenda was a native of Macerata, but his musical style suggests an education in Rome . From 1651 Perenda worked as an alto in the court chapel of the Prince Elector of Saxony . When the electoral prince became elector Johann Georg II of Saxony in 1658 , he merged his own chapel and that of his father Johann Georg I in order to lead the orchestra to a new bloom. In 1661 Peranda became vice conductor and in 1663 he succeeded Vincenzo Albrici as conductor .

In 1670 he received permission to travel to Italy. Since two masses and a spiritual concert from him have been preserved in the Kremsier residence in Moravia , it is assumed that Peranda stayed there for a long time.

In 1672 he received the position of court conductor in Saxony, possibly because Christoph Bernhard , also vice conductor, felt that he was being passed over during a promotion and had already accepted a position in Hamburg beforehand . In 1675 Peranda, who remained a Catholic until his death, was buried in the Marienstern monastery near Dresden.
