Biography
Biography
Abbatini was born in Città di Castello. He served as maestro di cappella at the Basilica of St. John Lateran from 1626 to 1628; at the cathedral in Orvieto in 1633; and at Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome between 1640 and 1646, 1649 to 1657, and 1672 to 1677. He composed church music, and published three books of Masses, four of Psalms, various 24-part Antiphons (1630, 1638, 1677), five books of Motets (1635), and a dramatic cantata, Il Pianto di Rodomonte (1633). He also worked with Athanasius Kircher on the Musurgia Universalis. In addition, he produced three operas: Dal male il bene (Rome, 1654; in collaboration with Marco Marazzoli), which was one of the earliest comic operas, and historically important as it introduced the final ensemble; Ione (Vienna, 1666); and La comica del cielo, also called La Baltasara (Rome, 1668). Antonio Cesti was among his pupils.
Training under Giovanni Maria Nanino and Giovanni Bernardino Nanino is recorded. Giovanni Paolo Colonna and Antonio Cesti are recorded as having studied under Antonio Maria Abbatini. Subjects and genres recorded for the work are opera and liturgical. Positions recorded include chapelmaster.
