Full biography Dmitry Bortniansky
Dmitry Stepanovich Bortniansky was a Russian Imperial composer of Ukrainian Cossack origin , born on October 28, 1751, in Glukhov, Ukraine. He was an important composer of Orthodox church music and developed a symphonic approach to choral writing that influenced all later Slavic composers.
Bortniansky began his musical education in the choir school of St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev and continued his studies in Italy, where he became a protégé of Paisiello. He worked as a composer and conductor in St. Petersburg, where he also directed the imperial chapel.
Bortniansky composed a large number of sacred works on Roman Catholic and German texts, as well as numerous choral concertos and liturgical pieces. His compositions are characterized by lively rhythms, rich choral textures, and inventive use of harmony.
In addition to his musical activities, Bortniansky was known for his philanthropic work and dedication to promoting education in Ukraine. He died on October 10, 1825, leaving behind a legacy of innovative sacred music and a lasting impact on the development of choral music in Russia and throughout the Slavic world.
