Within a few years, it's educational policy had shifted to musical training and singing and during the 1600s it was home to the finest composers in the city. They transformed the rigidly austere musical geometry of northern Europe into something wholly new, as though infusing the darkness of the north with the immense, intensely bright light of the south. Nicola Porpora was just such a composer. In 1710 the 24 year-old Porpora presented his opera Berenice in Rome with great success. While in the city, Haendel himself saw it and went to congratulate it's composer. Porpora wrote a great deal of music for religious purposes and opened a singing school which Farinelli also attended. Leonardo Leo is the other great composer from Sant'Onofrio. Almost a decade younger than Porpora, a combination of overwork and delicate health killed Leo at the relatively young age of fifty. He had already produced a number of new operas by 1738 when his reputation for music earned him the commission of a lifetime to write an opera to celebrate the wedding of Charles III and Maria Amalia of Saxony. Leo put everything else to one side and took as his subject the wedding of Psyche and Cupid. Yet despite the success of his opera for the imperial wedding, Leo continued to write music - both sacred and opera, whether serious or comic. Unsurprisingly, his name was a household word throughout Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Sinfonia con violini, viola e basso in la maggiore~Allegro assai \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Sinfonia con violini, viola e basso in la maggiore~Andante \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Sinfonia con violini, viola e basso in la maggiore~Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Trio con violini e basso in re maggiore~Adagio \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Trio con violini e basso in re maggiore~Allegro tempo comodo \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Concerto III in sol minore (dalle Sinfonie da camera a tre istromenti)~Adagio sostenuto \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Concerto III in sol minore (dalle Sinfonie da camera a tre istromenti)~Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Concerto III in sol minore (dalle Sinfonie da camera a tre istromenti)~Adagio \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Concerto III in sol minore (dalle Sinfonie da camera a tre istromenti)~Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Toccata III in sol minore \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Salmo CXII Beatus vir per alto, due violini e bc.~Aria: Beatus Vir - Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Salmo CXII Beatus vir per alto, due violini e bc.~Recitativo: Exortum est - Largo \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Salmo CXII Beatus vir per alto, due violini e bc.~Aria: Jucundus homo - Vivace \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Salmo CXII Beatus vir per alto, due violini e bc.~Aria: Dispersit - Spiritoso \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Salmo CXII Beatus vir per alto, due violini e bc.~Arioso: Gloria - Un poco Andante \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Salmo CXII Beatus vir per alto, due violini e bc.~Aria: Sicut erat - Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Concerto VI in si bemolle maggiore (dalle Sinfonie da camera a tre istromenti)~Adagio \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Concerto VI in si bemolle maggiore (dalle Sinfonie da camera a tre istromenti)~Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Concerto VI in si bemolle maggiore (dalle Sinfonie da camera a tre istromenti)~Affettuoso \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Concerto VI in si bemolle maggiore (dalle Sinfonie da camera a tre istromenti)~Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Salmo CXV Credidi propter quod locutus sum a 4 voci \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Toccata II in sol minore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
