Arcangelo Corelli

February 17, 1653 - January 8, 1713
born in Fusignano, Italy, composed during the Baroque period
Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) was an Italian composer of the Baroque era, and his influence in the development of the violin repertoire is still felt today. The author of numerous solo violin sonatas, trio sonatas, and concerti grossi, Corelli expanded the forms into virtuoso showpieces and made them viable for the next generation of composers, including Vivaldi, Bach, and Handel. Corelli's reputation led to continued patronage, great wealth, and security, and he was among the few composers to have virtually all his works published in his lifetime. His Concerto Grosso in G minor, "Christmas," is one of his best-known pieces. ~ Blair Sanderson, Rovi

sublime
cwmassie
this music speaks to my sole like a cat meowing for delicious kitty food.
@caleb springer how do you know he plays with such passion if he died in 1713?
onuigma
Good piece
godslittlepr i n c e s s 2
Love this! Ah where would the world be without such beautiful music to speak to our soul!
I enjoy his music very much!
definitely marvelous...
josephil0680
Absolutely sublime, Corelli's music is Divine.
Excellent! Very enjoyable.
yellasplitze r . 2 8 7
hehehe yeah..... he is pretty cool.
corelli is hot.
mimi.holt
Arcangelo was Antonio's daddy. But how can you not love them both?
It's great to read about a classical musician who was so appreciated in his own lifetime that he actually became rich!
Usually..... . neither like Baroque nor harpsichord. Well two of two ain't bad and neither is this piece by Corelli
trevordhylan d
Seriously the second greatest string composer of all time. (Vivaldi would be number one.)
corelli plays with such passion. hearing his music played is definately one of the high points of my life in music. maybe i will be able to play some of his pieces someday
His music is as necessary to my life as breathing and wonderfully challenging to perform :)
I have played Corelli in OR also, alas, the CV surgeons weren't into Baroque.
joemassey1
"do" better, sorry
joemassey1
doctors dp better when they play familiar music
elcue
Was introduced to Corelli by a heart surgeon who enjoyed playing him during surgery. What a discovery! Launched me into an exploration of the Baroque period that has brought me much pleasure. I think of that doc every time I hear Corelli - thanks, Charles!
Love Corelli
brettcole9
Music which feeds the mind and soul.
jwolfe547
Not bad for 357 years old. When's he gonna release a new album?

Wonderful music, and good for all occasions.

Young sir, "cavikblade" : devil horns do not belong on the page of a composer named "Arcangelo".
Makes you want to choregraph a group ballet right now. Wonderful progression tilt back and enjoy.
I was in the Rocky Mount Flute Choir (String Bass). We palyed this all the time. Fond memories!
THIS GUY ROCKS! WOOHOO! <\M/> DEVIL HORNS, MAN! DEVIL HORNS! ROOOOOCK!
wow, amazing. simply amazing.
Apropos ueland6;the entire hallelujah chorus of Handel's messiah was lifted note-for -note without a key change from Corelli's magnificent fugue in D major.Handel was so in awe of him he named his best set of concerti, opus 6, just like the Master's final set. Plagiarism was not an issue.
Roberto
Of all of the Baroque, his music raised the bar; lovely on the ears.
How can you not love a man who's first name is "Arcangelo"?

P.S. I enjoyed reading Forrest Woodring's comment below with what I'm sure was an unintentione d but brilliant phrase: vision in his hearing
He is the father of it all. Bach and Mozart produced masterpieces , but much of it was derivative of Corelli.
yhowj7
Thank you Pandora for introducing me to this composer. I think he's one of the best from his period.
beautiful.
he had vision in his hearing before his time
Music of Corelli reaches the stars!
