Biography

When in 1686 the King of England, James II, sent an ambassador to Rome for the purpose of restoring that Kingdom’s long-severed ties with the Papacy, the ambassador was welcomed with all the pomp the occasion deserved, featuring especially an opera with music composed by … Bernardo Pasquini.

Pasquini was already sufficiently important in 1686 to merit that honor. He would become more so in the years to come. He was the patriarch of Roman music in the early years of the 18th century. One of his pupils would in later years write, “Whoever has had the fortune to work or to study under the tutelage of the most famous Sig. Bernardo Pasquini in Rome … will have made the acquaintance of the truest, most beautiful and most noble style of playing … a perfection of marvelous Harmony.”

Pasquini is admired today for his “Suonata per Cembalo” and “Toccata per Organo.”
