Pietro Torri (c. 1650 – 6 July 1737) was an Italian Baroque composer.[1]
Life
Torri was born in Peschiera del Garda.[2] From 1684 to 1688, he served as the organist and choirmaster of the Margrave of Bayreuth, and later entered into the service of the Elector of Bavaria Maximilian II Emanuel. In 1692 he followed the prince with some gentlemen of the court orchestra to the Spanish Netherlands and later settled with them in Brussels where Torri married the daughter of the ballet master François Rodier.[1][3][4][5]
Over the following years he lived in Mons, Namur, Lille, Compiègne, and Valenciennes; where his compositions were performed.[2][4]
In 1715 he returned to Munich, where he occasionally composed cantatas; and an opera annually. In 1726 Maximilian died, and his son Charles Albert succeeded him to the throne of Bavaria. For this occasion, Torri composed a musical tribute to the new ruler: the allegorical cantata Bavaria. This work alluded to an early Bavarian claim to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. On the death of Giuseppe Antonio Bernabei in 1732, he was finally officially appointed as choirmaster at the court of Bavaria. Charles Albert was elected emperor in 1726 as Charles VII Albert and Torri became a musician at the imperial court.[1][4] He died in Munich.
Compositions
His most famous works for voices and orchestra include his Magnificat (for some time erroneously attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Lotti),[6][7] andLe Triomphe de la paix, a cantata celebrating the Treaty of Rastatt (1714).[2]

Sacred music
Magnificat
Torri likely composed his Magnificat in C major for double choir and orchestra in the 1690s.[98] The work is scored for double SATB choir, two trumpets, bassoon, strings (two violin parts and two viola parts) and basso continuo/organ.[2][99][100]
The Magnificat in C major, BWV Anh. 30, is Johann Sebastian Bach's arrangement of Torri's Magnificat.[98][101] In Bach's version[102][103] of the work there are an additional trumpet and timpani.[104][105]

- Missa pro Defunctis: Requiem mass for the Elector (died in 1726). The composition is for SSATB singers and an orchestra consisting of oboes, strings and continuo (organ).[106][107]
- Missa solemnis in D major.[108]
- Mass in C major.[109]
Oratorios
Torri wrote more oratorios than any composer before George Frideric Handel (see also several dramatic oratorios mentioned above among Torri's dramatic works):[110]
