Chapter One
Italian Immigrant Musicians
Davide Perez (1711-1778)
Perez was born in Naples; but he moved to Lisbon a few years before the disastrous 1755 earthquake.
Many Portuguese thought that the earthquake was a judgment of God. Did Perez share this idea?
I cannot answer this question. However, Wikipedia tells us that Perez wrote three operas in Lisbon before the earthquake but mostly sacred music thereafter. Draw your own conclusions.
Whatever his thoughts may have been, it would have been difficult to perform operas for a while, since the Ópera do Tejo had been destroyed in the earthquake; and since the city was in shambles, rebuilding places of entertainment would not have been a high priority.
Before coming to Lisbon, he presented operas in Sicily, Naples, and elsewhere in Italy. He also composed some sacred music during this time.
He lived in Sicily, especially Palermo, until 1748; then he visited many Italian cities.
In 1752 he settled in Lisbon. Here he was mestre de capela and music master to the daughters of José I of Portugal. One of his students was the future queen Maria I.
The royal family thoroughly appreciated his music. He was even made a Knight of the Order of Christ, either by Maria or her father, depending on which website you believe.
One of his online compositions is connected with the Good Friday Service of Tenebrae. The service is in Latin and includes several nocturns, which consist of readings following by responsories. The composition of Perez is a setting of a responsory of one of the
