Full biography Padre Davide da Bergamo

Padre Davide da Bergamo, also known as Davide Delle Celle, was an Italian composer born in Bergamo in 1670. He was a musician, teacher, and member of the Barnabite order. Throughout his life, he composed a vast amount of music, including vocal and instrumental works.

Padre Davide initially studied music in Rome under Bernardo Pasquini, a prominent composer and keyboardist of the Baroque era. Later on, he traveled to Naples for further music studies. He became a teacher of music and church chant at a Barnabite school in Naples and subsequently held various musical positions in his order.

As a composer, Padre Davide's works demonstrated his skill in vocal counterpoint and harmony. His music was well recognized for its complexity and ability to create emotional depth and beauty, especially in his religious works. He composed several masses, motets, and sacred music for the church.

One of Padre Davide's notable compositions is the Missa Secunda, a grand-scale polyphonic mass that is still performed today. His motet “Ave Maria” has achieved international acclaim and was frequently performed at the Vatican.

Padre Davide da Bergamo passed away in Naples in 1750. His legacy lives on through his music, which remains a significant contribution to the Baroque era.
