Abstract
The Italian composer Baldassare Galuppi (1706-1785) had a profound impact on the development of opera buffa and on Venetian musical life for nearly forty years. Less widely known is the fact that he also exercised considerable influence over the development of Russian Orthodox church music in the latter half of the eighteenth century. The biography presented here pays special attention to his time spent in Russia, as this is often glossed over. Galuppi is also an interesting study because, as a member of the transitional generation that includes composers such as Pergolesi and C. P. E. Bach, his music often displays an amalgam of styles characteristic of both the Baroque and Classic eras. This is especially evident in his sacred music, and is illustrated through analysis and discussion of five Latin and two Russian Orthodox sacred works.
