Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Gregorio Allegri A B C D ... Z Gregorio Allegri A member of the same family which produced the painter Correggio, born at Rome c. 1580; died 1652. He was attached to the cathedral at Fermo, as a beneficiary priest, and acted as chorister and composer. The attention of Pope Urban VIII was drawn to him through some of his motets and concerti , and he was appointed, 6 December, 1629, to fill a vacancy among the singers of the Papal Choir, a post which he held until his death. He reached the climax of his fame when he produced his nine-voiced "Miserere" for two choirs, the value of which depends almost entirely upon its execution, in particular upon certain traditional ornaments which give a peculiar, pathetic quality to many passages, but without which it appears to be a piece of almost hopeless insipidity.

Gregorio Allegri Italian composer. In his youth he sang in the choir of S. Luigi dei Francesi, Rome, and studied with Giuseppe Maria Nanino . He was later a chorister and composer at Fermo cathedral and at Tivoli, and became a Papal chapel singer in 1629. It was for the Papal choir that Allegri wrote the famous Miserere, a psalm setting mainly in simple falsobordone for two antiphonal choirs transformed by exceptionally high ornamented passages (which may in fact not have been by Allegri). These were a closely guarded secret for many generations; Burney, the historian, caused the work to be made available to English cathedral choirs, Mozart copied it out by ear, and several Romantic composers enthused over it. Allegri also wrote fine polyphonic Masses in the idiom of Palestrina without continuo, and small-scale concertato motets in the modern manner for churches with limited resources.

Composers Biography Languages Gregorio Allegri Life Works Photo Gallery Home Page Gregorio Allegri Life Gregorio Allegri was born around 1582 in Rome. The earliest record we have of his career is that he joined the choir school at S. Luigi dei Francesi in Rome in 1591. He stayed there until 1596, when his soprano voice broke. About 1607 he left Rome to take up a post as singer and composer at the cathedral in Fermo at the outskirts of the papal state. He apparently stayed there until 1628, when he returned to Rome to take the competitive examination for admittance to the papal choir. He successfully completed the exam and became a part of the choir in 1629. In addition to the prestige of belonging to this organization, and the attendant guaranteed salary for life, Allegri enjoyed the opportunity to study and consult with some of the finest musical minds of his time. Gregorio Allegri Works During the next 23 years until his death, 1652, Allegri composed a number of masses, motets, and a small number of instrumental works, including a four-part sonata for string ensemble that might be considered an important early string quartet, written as it was over a century before F.J. Haydn

Gregorio Allegri - A Potted Biography compiled by Ben Byram-Wigfield Gregorio Allegri was born in Rome in 1582, and became a chorister at the Papal Chapel in 1591 until 1596, when his voice broke. He subsequently became a tenor at S. Luigi del Francesca for the next 8 years, and studied with Giovanni Maria Nanino from 1600 until 1607. In 1604 he was a Singer and Composer at Tivoli and Fermi, and then became Maestro di Cappella at S. Spirito, in Sassia, Rome in 1628. 6th December 1629 saw his appointment as a singer in the Papal Choir, until his death on February 17th, 1652, aged 70. He wrote a large body of work, of both instrumental and sacred choral music, favouring the style of his mentor Nanino, and his before him, Palestrina. It was originally thought that he was born into the Corregio family, that of the late Renaissance painter Antonio Allegri, known as Corregio, but this has since been disproved. It has also been suggested by some authors that Allegri was a castrato, and that the Miserere was written especially for castrati. Allegri was employed as a Tenor, and so could not have been a castrato. Also, if the above is an accurate portrait, he would not have been able to grow a beard if had been castrated.
