TOMADINI, JACOPO. - Composer and teacher, b. at Cividale on 24 Aug. 1820, d. there on 21 Jan. 1883.

Ordained a priest in 1846, he was a canon of the collegiate church of his town. In music he attained an eminent place through his profound classical knowledge, his pure inspiration and the nobility of his form. Out of modesty he refused honorary posts in other Italian and foreign cities, living in seclusion an austere life devoted solely to art. He wrote a great number of sacred compositions that met with wide acclaim. The oratorio La Risurrezione di Cristo was a genuine revelation, such that it could compete with Haydn and Handel.
