Cesti, A. (English spelling) CestiA

The Venetian style was popularized in Germany around 1600 by German musicians such as Hieronymus Praetorius (1560-1629), Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612), a student of A. Gabrieli, and Schütz. The term Venetian is sometimes used to refer to the leading composers of Venetian opera in the 17th century (Francesco Cavalli (1602-76), Antonio Cesti (1623-69), and others) and the leading composers of concertos in the first half of the 18th century (Albinoni, B. Marcello, Vivaldi, and others). Cavalli and Chesti continued the opera traditions of Monteverdi in his later years at the Venetian theater, but in response to the shift in the venue of opera from the royal court to the theater, they began to place more importance on music than drama, bringing famous singers to the forefront and also putting effort into creating stage productions that would entertain the audience by using mechanical mechanisms.
