Frescobaldi - Girolamo Frescobaldi

Japanese: フレスコバルディ - ふれすこばるでぃ(英語表記)Girolamo Frescobaldi
Frescobaldi - Girolamo Frescobaldi

Italian composer, organist and harpsichordist of the early Baroque period. Born around September 15th in Ferrara, a cultural city in northern Italy, he studied under the local court organist Luzzaschi, but was also influenced by Gesualdo, who stayed there from 1594 to 1596. He probably went to Rome with his teacher Luzzaschi in 1601, where he worked as an organist and singer, and in 1607 he became the organist at the Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere, but in the same year he traveled to Brussels with his patron Bentivoglio. From 1608 until his death on March 1, 1643, he worked as an organist at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, where he gained fame. He also served at the court of Cardinal Aldobrandini. Among his many works, his toccatas (1615) are particularly known as a work that conveys his virtuosity. His Ricercare (1615) and Canzone (1623) are also important, but his Fiori Musicali (Bouquet of Music) (1635) had a great influence on later German musicians, including Bach.

初期バロックを代表するイタリアの作曲家、オルガン奏者、ハープシコード奏者。9月15日ごろ北イタリアの文化都市フェッラーラで生まれ、同地の宮廷オルガン奏者ルッツァスキに師事したが、1594~96年同地に滞在したジェズアルドの影響も受けた。おそらく1601年、師のルッツァスキとともにローマに出てオルガン奏者兼歌手として活躍し、07年にはサンタ・マリア・イン・トラステベレ教会のオルガン奏者となるが、同年パトロンのベンティボリオに従いブリュッセルに旅している。08年から、43年3月1日の死の直前までローマのサン・ピエトロ大聖堂のオルガン奏者として活躍し、名声をかちえた。アルドブランディーニ枢機卿(すうききょう)の宮廷にも仕えていた。多数の作品のなかでもとくにトッカータ集(1615)は彼の名人芸を伝える作品として知られている。リチェルカーレ集(1615)、カンツォーネ集(1623)も重要だが、『フィオーリ・ムジカーリ(音楽の花束)』(1635)は、バッハをはじめとした後代のドイツの音楽家にも大きな影響を及ぼした。
