Jean-Baptiste Lully | it

Jean-Baptiste Krumpholz (lang-cz: Jan Křtitel Krumpholtz) (8 May 1742 – 19 February 1790) was a Czech composer and harpist. Krumpholz was born in Budenice, near Zlonice. He learned music from his father while growing up in Paris; in 1773 he played a successful harp concerto in the Burgtheater in Vienna. After serving three years in Count Esterházy's court orchestra (1773–1776) during which he is said to have taken counterpoint lessons with Joseph Haydn, he embarked on a successful concert tour of Europe. In Paris and Metz he worked with manufacturers F. Nadermann and S. Erard towards improving the construction of...

Jean-Baptiste Besard(b Besançon, c 1567; dafter 1617). Burgundian lutenist and composer. He studied law in Dôle and medicine in Rome before moving to Germany. His Thesaurus harmonicus (1603) contains 403 lute pieces, some with voice, representing 21 composers (including himself) and almost all the instrumental forms of the time; many pieces were copied into later collections. A smaller collection, Novus partus, appeared in1617. Both are important for their size, catholicity of taste, influence and historical context. His extensive manual on lute playing, printed in Thesaurus and revised in Novus partus, concentrates on fingering techniques; it was later translated into English....

Jean-Baptiste Lully o Giovanni Battista Lulli (Firenze, 28 novembre 1632 – Parigi, 22 marzo 1687) è stato un compositore italiano naturalizzato francese. Si firmò sempre Lully, sebbene nella lingua del suo paese natale, la y non esistesse. Senza dubbio adottò questa ortografia sentendo il suo nome pronunciato alla francese, ovvero, con l'accento sull'ultima sillaba. Aveva visto la luce nel 1632 a Firenze o nei dintorni di questa città. Suo padre era mugnaio o, più precisamente, garzone di mulino: la pretesa di essere figlio di un gentiluomo, quando Luigi XIV gli accordò delle lettere di naturalizzazione, non è più fondata del...

Jean-Baptiste Maunier (born December 22, 1990) is a French child/teen actor and singer. He gained fame for his starring role in the 2004 French film Les Choristes. Maunier plays Pierre Morhange, a delinquent with an exceptional singing voice at the correctional school Fond de L'Etang. The original soundtrack of Les Choristes features Maunier and the children's choir Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Marc (full name is La Chorale des Petits Enfants De Saint-Marc). Christophe Barratier, the director of Les Choristes, chose Maunier for his vocal talent and appearance. Maunier has since left the choir. In 2005, Maunier also sang in Concerto...

Joseph Jean Baptist Laurent Arban (28 February 1825 - 9 April 1889) was a cornetist, conductor, pedagogue and the first famed virtuoso of the cornet à piston or valved cornet. He was influenced by Niccolò Paganini's virtuosic technique on the violin and in an (arguably successful) attempt to "prove" the cornet as a true solo instrument, developed extreme virtuosic technique on the instrument. Born in Lyon, France, he studied trumpet with Francois Dauverné at the Paris Conservatoire from 1841 to 1845. He was appointed professor of saxhorn at the École Militaire in 1857, and became professor of cornet at the...
