The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra commissioned “The Composer Is Dead”, for narrator and orchestra, to educate children about the symphony through a murder mystery. “The Composer Is Dead” borrows from the educational classical music tradition of “Peter and The Wolf”, adding a dash of “Law and Order” and the wry humor one would expect from the author of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Continuing our partnership with the San Francisco Symphony, the @Google program is pleased to welcome both the composer, Nathaniel Stookey, and the librettist, Lemony Snicket. They have each offered briefnotes on the piece:

“I have been asked if I might say a word or two about the text of The Composer Is Dead, and the one or two words are “Boo hoo.” The story — which, as far as I know, is absolutely true — is so heartbreakingly glum that I cannot imagine that you will be able to listen to it without dabbing at your tears with a nearby handkerchief.”
Array
— Lemony Snicket

“I hope Im not giving away too much by saying that The Composer is Dead ends with a funeral march…Classical composers have always had a preoccupation with death, partly because we are human, like you, partly because we grapple with the mysteries of the universe, partly because death sells records and always has…Someday you’ll be able to tell your grandchildren that you appreciated a living composer before that living composer became, like all composers, dead.”
— Nathaniel Stookey

Tomaso Albinoni – Adagio in G minor on 5-string Spector bass guitar

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (June 8, 1671, Venice, Republic of Venice January 17, 1751, Venice, Republic of Venice) was a Venetian Baroque composer. While famous in his day as an opera composer, he is mainly remembered today for his instrumental music, some of which is regularly recorded. The “Adagio in G minor” attributed to him is a 1958 composition entirely composed by Remo Giazotto, which Giazotto claimed to have based on fragments from a slow movement of an Albinoni trio sonata he had been sent by the Dresden State Library.[1]

Biography

Born to Antonio Albinoni, a wealthy paper merchant in Venice, he studied violin and singing. Relatively little is known about his life, especially considering his contemporary stature as a composer, and the comparatively well-documented period in which he lived. In 1694 he dedicated his Opus 1 to the fellow-Venetian Pietro, Cardinal Ottoboni (grand-nephew of Pope Alexander VIII); Ottoboni was an important patron in Rome of other composers, such as Arcangelo Corelli. Albinoni was possibly employed in 1700 as a violinist to Charles IV, Duke of Mantua, to whom he dedicated his Opus 2 collection of instrumental pieces. In 1701 he wrote his hugely popular suites Opus 3, and dedicated that collection to Cosimo III de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany.

In 1705, he was married; Antonino Biffi, the maestro di cappella of San Marco was a witness, and evidently was a friend of Albinoni’s. Albinoni seems to have no other connection with that primary musical establishment in Venice, however, and achieved his early fame as an opera composer at many cities in Italy, including Venice, Genoa, Bologna, Mantua, Udine, Piacenza, and Naples. During this time he was also composing instrumental music in abundance: prior to 1705, he mostly wrote trio sonatas and violin concertos, but between then and 1719 he wrote solo sonatas and concertos for oboe.

Unlike most composers of his time, he appears never to have sought a post at either a church or court of nobility, but then he was a man of independent means and had the option to compose music independently. In 1722, Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, to whom Albinoni had dedicated a set of twelve concertos, invited him to direct two of his operas in Munich.

Around 1740, a collection of Albinoni’s violin sonatas was published in France as a posthumous work, and scholars long presumed that meant that Albinoni had died by that time. However it appears he lived on in Venice in obscurity; a record from the parish of San Barnaba indicates Tomaso Albinoni died in 1751, of diabetes.

[edit] Music and influence

He wrote some fifty operas, of which 28 were produced in Venice between 1723 and 1740, but today is most noted for his instrumental music, especially his oboe concertos.

His instrumental music greatly attracted the attention of Johann Sebastian Bach, who wrote at least two fugues on Albinoni’s themes and constantly used his basses for harmony exercises for his pupils.

Part of Albinoni’s work was lost in World War II with the destruction of the Dresden State Library, thus little is known of his life and music after the mid 1720s.

The Albinoni Adagio in G minor is a 1958 composition entirely composed by Remo Giazotto, which Giazotti claimed to have based on fragments from a slow movement of an Albinoni trio sonata he had been sent by the Dresden State Library.[1]

The Adagio in G Minor has been covered by The Doors with Jim Morrison adding the line “Rock is Dead”. It’s also played in the Oliver Stone film “The Doors” at the end as a camera pans through the head stones of Chopan and Wilde til it arrives at Morrisons grave in Pere L’achaise, Paris.
