Onofrio in Naples, where he was a pupil of
Domenico Gizzi. In 1732 his first opera, 'Li
mariti a forza ' had a great success, and was
followed by many others, among which the most
popular was' Orazio,' brought out in Rome, 1738.
On the last day of that year he was appointed
vice-maestri) di cappella at Santa Maria Maggiore.
Incapacitated by illness, he returned to Naples
in 1741, and in 1756 he went to Venice as
choir director at the Conservatorio della Piet^,
and in 176*2 was made second conductor at St.
Mark's. In 1 7 7 2 he once more returned to Naples,
performed at the San
where his ' was ' Antigono
Carlo in 1775 ; he died there in 1789, having
written some thirty -six operas, much church
music (preserved at the Conservatorio della
Pietaand elsewhere), six string'quartets published
in London, and many arias and duets. Seven
operas and two intermezzi are all that are now
known to exist of his dramatic compositions (see
Quellen- Lejiikoii). m.
LATROBE, Rev. Christian Ignatius, eldest
son of Rev. Benjamin Latrobe, superintendent
of the congregations of the United (Moravian)
Brethren in England, was born at Fulneck,
Leeds, Yorkshire, Feb. 12, 1757. In 1771 he
went to the college of the United Brethren at
Niesky, Upper Lusatia, returned to England
in 1784, took orders in the same church, became
in 1787 secretary to the Society for the
Furtherance of the Gospel, and in 1795 was
appointed secretary to the Unity of the Brethren
in England. Although Latrobe never followed
music as a profession he cultivated it assiduously
from an early age. His earlier compositions
three of his sonatas,
were chiefly instrumental ;
having met with the approval of Haydn, were
published and dedicated to him. His other published
compositions include Lord Roscommon's
translation of the 'Dies Irae,' 1799 ; 'The
Dawn of Glory,' 1803 ; Anthem for the Jubilee
of George III., 1809 ; Anthems, by various
composers, 1811 ; Original Anthems, 1823 ;
' Te Deum, performed in York Cathedral '
;
'Miserere, Ps. 51'; and 'Six Airs on serious
subjects, words by Cowper and Hannah More.'
He edited the first English edition of the Moravian
Hymn Tunes. But his most important
j)ubUcation was his Selection of Sacred Music
from the ^vorlcs of the most eminent composers of
Germany and Italy, six vols. 1806-25, through
the medium of which many fine modern com-
positions were first introduced to the notice of
the British public. He died at Fairfield, near
Manchester, May 6, 1836.
Rev. -John Antes Latrobe, M.A. , his son,
born in London in 1799, was composer of
several anthems. He was educated at St. Edmund
Hal], Oxford, was B.D. in 1826 and M.A.
in 1829, took orders in the Church of England,
and was incumbent of St. Thomas's, Kendal,
from 1840 to 1865, and honorary canon of
Carlisle from 1858. He was author of The
Music of the Church considered in its various
branches, Congregational and Choral, London,
1831, and Instructions of Chenaniah, a book of
directions for accompanying chants and psalm
tunes (1832). He died at Gloucester, Nov. 19,
1878.
