ALALEONA, DOMENICO. - Musicologist and composer, b. at Montegiorgio (Macerata) on 16 Nov. 1881, d. there on 24 Nov. 1928. He graduated from S. Cecilia in 1906, presenting as his final exercise a dramatic poem Attolite portas; he also composed a "Requiem" for 4 voices and various religious choruses. He transcribed several sixteenth-century Italian spiritual lauds for orchestra, etc. As a musicologist, he published Studi sulla storia dell'Oratorio musicale in Italia (Turin 1908), a fundamental work but clouded by an anti-religious spirit, and various articles on the spiritual lauds (Le laudi spirituali italiane nel sec. XVI e XVII e i loro rapporti coi canti profani, in Rivista musicale italiana, 16 [1909], pp. 1 ff.), on Emilio de' Cavalieri (La nuova Musica, 1 [1905]), etc.
