Orazio Benevoli (Composer)
Born: 19th April 1605, Rome, Italy
Died: 17th June 1672, Rome, Italy
Nationality: Franco-Italian
Orazio Benevoli or Benevolo was a Franco-Italian composer of large scaled polychoral sacred choral works (e.g., one work featured forty-eight vocal and instrumental lines).
He was born in Rome, to a French baker and confectioner, Robert Venouot or Vénevot, which name was Italianized to Benevolo. Benevoli was a choirboy at San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome (1617–23). Later, he assumed posts as maestro di cappella at Santa Maria in Trastevere (from 1624); then, at Santo Spirito in Sassia (from 1630); and, eventually, at his old church, San Luigi dei Francesi (from 1638). Benevoli served as Kapellmeister in the court of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria from 1644 to 1646.
