                             ALESSANDRO MARCELLO & BENDETTO MARCELLO

1st February 1673 --- 19th June 1747       24th June or July 1686 --- 24th July 1739

Below you will find two small biographies, it seems that music produce by the brothers was sometimes hard to credit to the correct composer
so I will place any music I have on the brothers on this page.

Alessandro Marcello, born 1684 and died in 1750,  all I have on him is that he produced about  twelve solos for violin and several concertos,  if
anyone can throw any more light on this composer please email me.

Benedetto  Marcello,  born on 1686,  he wrote  some fine examples  of all the main genres,  both vocal and  instrumental,  among them  a large
number of concertos. One of which composed for the Oboe was transcribed by Bach for a harpsichord concerto. Marcello father wanted his son
to trained in law but instead he became the pupil of Lotti and Gasparini. In 1711 he was a member of the council of Forty, and in 1730 went to
Pola as Provveditore. He retired after eight years to Brescia in capacity of Camerlengo, and died there on July 24th 1739.

Marcello is  best  remembered by his Estro  poetico-armonica  (Venice,  1724 - 1727 ), a musical  setting for  voices  and strings of the first fifty
Psalms,  as paraphrased in Italian by G.Giustiniani, Charles Avison and  John Garth brought out an edition  with English words (London, 1757).
His other works are chiefly cantatas.
