A fine and characteristic example of his sacred music is the Dixit Dominus in C, edited by CV Stanford and published by Novello.


Catone in Utica

In the second version, first set by Leonardo Leo for Venice in 1729, Cato’s death is simply reported, and all that remains of the acquedotti antichi of the secret pathway scene is the entrance, to which a fountain of Isis and its surrounding trees create a visual diversion.

Ignazio Fiorillo

His musical education was supported by Count Ferdinand Otto von Traun, who allowed him to study at the Naples Conservatory, as a pupil of Leonardo Leo and Francesco Durante.
