Stefan Paluselli
Johann Anton Stefan Paluselli OCist (born January 9, 1748 in Kurtatsch in South Tyrol ; † February 27, 1805 in Stams ) was an Austrian monk and church musician .
Life
Paluselli attended the Jesuit high school in Innsbruck from around 1761 and received his first systematic music education. From 1768 to 1770 he studied philosophy at the University of Innsbruck . In 1770 he joined the Stams monastery and was ordained a priest in 1774 after studying theology in Brixen . In 1785 he became a violin teacher at the boys' seminar, and in 1791 he was choirmaster in Stams.
Paluselli is considered an important composer in Tyrol. He developed an idiosyncratic personal style early on, which combines echoes of Italian baroque music in the Vivaldi tradition , folk song-like passages and differentiated, delicate rhythms. He wrote not only for church celebrations, e.g. B. masses , offertories , hymns or motets , but also a variety of cantatas , often for the abbot's name-day celebrations . Paluselli's instrumental compositions ( partitas , the sonata and serenata ) are of particularly impressive artistic value . His diverse work has been preserved almost exclusively in his home monastery.
