Death of MARC'ANTONIO INGEGNERI 1592 in Cremona 
Italian composer and organist. He worked for most of his life in Cremona, where he became maestro di cappella about 1579. Most of his madrigals are contained in seven volumes published in Venice between 1572 and 1587, and one published posthumously in 1606. They are rather old-fashioned, although chromaticism is used occasionally, but were popular during Ingegneri's lifetime and after his death, and influenced his most important pupil, Monteverdi, with their clear, well-worked-out structures. His 27 responsories for Holy Week were for some time attributed to Palestrina.

Birth of LEOS JANACEK 1854 in Hukvaldy,Czechoslovakia 
Czech composer. The son of a schoolmaster and organist, he studied at the Augustinian 'Queen's' Monastery and the German Realschule in Brno and in 1869 prepared himself to follow his father's career, attending the Brno Teacher Training College (1869-74) and the Prague Organ School (1874-5). He went for brief periods to study at the conservatories of Leipzig (1879-80) and Vienna (1880). In 1881 he became founder and first director of the Brno Organ School. For the next 30 or so years he lived in Brno in relative obscurity: his first mature works, such as the 'Lachian Dances' for orchestra (1889-90), suggested only that he would develop as a gifted follower of Dvorak. All his studies bore fruit in his opera 'Jenufa' (1904), a passionate tale of love and jealousy set in a Moravian village. The Prague premiere of this opera in a revised version, given in 1916, belatedly established his reputation, both nationally and soon internationally. A major influence of the music of this time was Janacek's passionate friendship with Camila Stosslova, 35 years his junior. In many ways she became his muse, and his love for her is commemorated in several of his later works. From this period came his orchestral rhapsody 'Taras Bulba' (1915-18) and his boldly scored Sinfonietta (1926), his two String Quarters (1923 qand 1928), and a variety of other chamber pieces. His greatest achievements however, came in a rapid succession of operas: 'The Excursions of Mr Broucek' (1920), 'The Cunning Little Vixen',(1924), The Makropoulos Affair (1926), and 'From the House of the Dead' (1930).Leoš Janáček  - Piano Sonata 1.

Birth of FLOR PEETERS 1903 in Tielen    
Belgian composer and organist. He studied at the Lemmens Institute in Mechelen, where he became cathedral organist in 1925, and in Paris with Marcel Dupre and Charles Tournemire. He was active as a recitalist throughout the world and as a teacher, directing the Royal Flemish Conservatory in Antwerp (1952-68). His enormous output includes organ music of all kinds, much of it reflecting his interests in Flemish Renaissance polyphony, the music of Bach, Gregorian chant, and Flemish folk music. In addition he composed masses and other church music, some secular vocal works, chamber music, and piano pieces.

Death of WILLIAM BYRD 1623 in Stondon Massey, Essex 
English composer. He was the foremost English composer during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. His large output, which includes masses, motets, polyphonic songs, and works for keyboard and instrumental consort, ranks among the most individual and inspired of the late Renaissance, on a level of that of Palestrina, Lassus, or Victoria. It is thought likely that Byrd was a pupil of Tallis in the Chapel Royal, becoming Tallis's assistant after his voice broke. Early in 1572 Byrd was sworn in as a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in the succession to Robert Parsons, also becoming joint organist with Tallis. During his career in London, Byrd devoted a greal deal of time to the composition of motets, Latin having been officially sanctioned by Elizabeth for the services of the Chapel Royal. In 1589 and 1591 Byrd issued two collections of 'Cantiones sacrae', many of which stand as moving testaments of his personal convictions. He was a prolific composer of keyboard music. He produced many fine sets of variations on popular melodies and ground basses as well as stylised dance music and such abstract pieces as fantasias and preludes.Byrd's impact on his contemporaries was profound; his pupils includedMorley and Tomkins, and there can have been few English composers of the period who failed to learn by his example. His output was widely admired, and served as a secure foundation for the work of a whole generation of younger composers.

Birth of PHILIPPE DE MONTE 1521 in Mechelen 
Flemish composer. An educated man who spoke and wrote five languages, he was in Italy from 1542 to 1551, teaching the children of a noble family in Naples. By 1554 he was in Rome, and that year visited Antwerp before travelling to England, where he was a member of the private chapel of Philip II of Spain, husband of Mary Tudor; there he met Thomas Byrd. He left England in 1555 and after a few more years in Italy was appointed court Kapellmeister to Maximilian II in 1568, remaining in the imperial service for the rest of his life and moving between Vienna and Prague, the favourite court of Maximilian's successor, Rudolf II. His output of 19 books of madrigals for five voices, nine for six, and three for seven was unusually large.

Death of NICOLAS LEBEGUE 1702 in Paris
French composer. The son of a miller-maker, he left Laon for Paris when he was in his 20s. In 1664 he was appointed organist of St Merri, and in 1678 he joined Nivers, J.-D.Thomelin, and J.-B Buterne as one of the four organists to the royal chapel. In his later years he was swindled of his life savings, and at the age of 69 underwent successful surgery for a kidney stone. His published volumes of harpsichord pieces helped to standardize the number and order of dances in the suite, and his collections of organ works contain a wide range of pieces, from virtuoso keyboard trios to simple Mass versets and arrangements of popular 'noels'.

Italian-born American composer. He studied at the Milan Concervatory and with Rosario Scalero at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, where he taught from 1984 to 1955. In 1958 he founded the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto. Primarily an opera composer, he achieved international attention in the years immediately after World War II with 'The Medium' (1946), 'The Telephone' (1947), and 'The Consul' (1950), all of which show theatrical flair and an opportune use of music to heighten melodramatic situations. Menotti wrote the libretos for all his own operas and also for Samuel Barber's 'Vanesse'.

Death of MICHELANGELO ROSSI 1656 in Rome   
Ιtalian composer and violinist. His early life was spent in Genoa, but by 1624 he was in Rome, where, apart from occasional visits elsewhere, he remained for the rest of his life. In the 1630s he was involved with the Barberini family; his opera'Erminia sul Giordano', performed with sets by Bernini at the Palazzo Barberini in 1633, includes some splendid arias and ensembles. Rossi's most important music is for keyboard; about 1640 he published a volume of keyboard music containing toccatas in a style similar to that of Frescobaldi. In his lifetime he was best known as a virtuoso violinist.

Death of ANTONIO MARIA BONONCINI 1726 in Modena 
Italian composer. The younger brother of Giovanni, also studied in Bologna. He then worked in Vienna until 1713, when he returned to Italy,becoming maestro di cappella at Modena in 1721. Padre Martini praised the skilful counterpoint and bold use of harmony in his small output of opera, cantatas, and church music, but these factors may have militated against his achieving a popular success comparable to that of his brother.

Death of GIOVANNI BONONCINI 1747 in Vienna  
Italian composer. The eldest son of Giovanni Maria, after whose death he went to Bologna; there he studied with Colonna and at the age of 15 became a member of the Accademia Filarmonica. By 18 he had become both maestro di cappella at S.Giovanni in Monte and a musician at S.Petronio, and had prodused a large quantity of instrumental and sacred music. In 1692 he went to Rome where he composed the opera'Il trionfo di Camilla', which enjoyed unprecedented success in Italy and elsewhere. In 1697 he entered the service of Leopold I in Vienna at an enormous salary. By the time he returned to Italy in 1713 Bononcini was one of the most celebrated composers in Europe. His recruitment by the Earl of Burlington as composer to the Royal Academy of music in London must have been a considerable coup for that organization. He arrived in London in 1720 and he remained in England until 1731. He returned to Vienna after a short visit to Lisbon. With Handel and Alessandro Scarlatti,Bononcini was one of the most composers of his time. In London he was regarded as virtually Handel's equal.

 Austrian soprano. As a child she played the violin, going on to study philosophy at Sofia University before turning to singing.

She was famous-even-notorious-for the unbridled eroticism she brought to her singing. Her Salome, a role in which she was coached by Strauss, was considered definite.

Death of RUED LANGGAARD 1952 in Ride Danisnist.    Grounded in music by his parents, he made his debut as a virtuoso organist at the age of 11, and his precocious First Symphony was performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. His output is bizzarely inconsistent in style and quality, but at his best-as in the Fourth and Sixth Symphonies,T he Third Quartet, and above all the visionary 'Music of the Spheres', -he could be strikingly original.

Birth of CARLOS GOMES 1836 in Campinas

His best-known work,'Il Guarany', was produced at La Scala in 1870.  About 1890 Gomes returned to Brazil, but his monarchist leanings made him unpopular with the new rebublic, and no significant appointment came his way until a few months before his death, when he was appointed director of the Belem Conservatory (1895).

His orchestral works include ''Two English Idylls'' (1911), the rhapsody ''A Shropshire Lad'' (1912), and ''The Banks of Green Willow'' (1913).

 Death of ERNEST BLOCH 1959 in Portland  
Swiss-born American composer. His violin and composition studies included periods in Geneva, Brussels, Frankfurt, and Munich. In 1904 he returned to work for his father in Geneva, where he composed his opera 'Macbeth', a bold music drama combining influence from Debussy, Wagner, and Musorgsky. In 1916 Bloch emigrated to the USA, where he taught at the Mannes School in New York, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and the San Francisco Conservatory; his pupils included Roger Sessions and Quincy Porter. He continued to compose steadily, influenced by neo-classicism in such works as the Concerto Grosso no.1 but retaining the melodic warmth that had characterized his earlier Jewish music. He returned to Switzerland in 1930 and began to write large-scale works including the Jewish liturgical setting 'Avodath an Hakodesh' and the Violin Concerto. In 1939 he went back to the USA, settled in Oregon, and taught summer courses at the University of California at Berkeley. During his final period he concentrated on larger abstract forms.

A conductor of the Colonne concerts he was responsible for the first performance of Debussy's 'Images' among many other works. His own compositions range from light pieces to substantial oratorios,o peras, and chamber works, and show a fertile imagination at work in a basically Franckian style.

Death of JEAN-BAPTISTE FORQUERAY 1782 in Paris   French composer.
He was the son of Antoine. He too was a virtuoso viol player, who as a child played for Louis XIV.

After the death of his wife in 1740 he married the harpsichordist Marie-Rose Dubois. During the 1740s they were much in demand as a duo and it would seem probable that she had a hand in the harpsichord transcription of the Forquerays'pieces de viole, which was published simultaneously.

He did much to revive older music being among the founders of the Academy of Vocal Music, editing Corelli's instrumental works for publication in London. In 1713 he was awarded the Oxford D.Mus. and in 1746 Fellowship of the Royal Society. He married Margherita de L'Epine, a wealthy Italian opera singer, with whom he lived in considerable style.

His satire of the manners of the opera house,'Il teatro alla moda',which lampooned such major figures as Vivaldi,brought him considerable notoriety at the time,but should not be taken too seriously as a historical document.
