BENEVOLI, ORAZIO. - Musician, b. in Rome on 9 April 1605, d. there on 17 June 1672. He was a boy chorister, then choirmaster at S. Luigi de' Francesi (1617-23), at various other Roman churches and at the Cappella Giulia (7 Nov. 1646, 17 June 1672), with the interlude of 1643-46, during which he was a court musician in Vienna with Archduke Leopold William. He composed much sacred music: psalms, motets, offertories and masses with a great number of voices (12, 16, 24, 30), among which the one for 12 voices has remained famous; it was performed in Rome in 1650 and published recently by Guido Adler (v.) in vol. X of the Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich (Vienna 1896).
