Round 3: Tossup 17

A satire published under a partial anagram of this composer’s name teaches people like poets, composers, singers, and female singers’ mothers how to create modern opera. This composer’s name was fraudulently attached to a collection of musette sonatas by Nicolas Chédeville (15[1])titled The Faithful Shepherd. This composer’s opus 3 concerti were transcribed for keyboard by a court composer in Weimar. In 1939, interest in this composer’s music was (*) revived by Alfredo Casella’s “Week” in his honor. In 2012, Daniel Hope premiered a minimalist “recomposition” of one of this composer’s works by Max (10[1])Richter. This composer taught violin and mandolin at the Ospedale della Pietà, an orphanage for whose choir he wrote (10[1])his D major Gloria. For 10 points, name this Venetian “Red Priest” who wrote The Four Seasons. ■END■
