Francesco Onofrio Manfredini was an 18th-century Italian violinist and composer of baroque music. Francesco Manfredini comes from a family of musicians. Manfredini's musical language is close to the expression of his masters, Torelli, Laurenti, Perti, and others. One composer inspired by these folk musicians was well Francesco Manfredini. His concerto « Pastorale for Holiest Christmas » was written as a concerto grosso, a new musical form which had developed within the previous decades. The first movement, a siciliano (a slow dance in triple time featuring dotted rhythms and associated with pastoral scenes), brings to mind images of the shepherds watching their flocks by night outside Bethlehem perhaps the most popular aspect of the Christmas story in the 17th and 18th centuries. The second movement features a tranquil melody of descending arpeggios in a minor key. It segues directly to the third movement, which portrays a pifferari performance. The orchestral strings imitate zampogne in their simple harmonic support as the soloists perform the trills and ornaments characteristic of the higher pifferi. His most interesting instrumental work is the collection of six sonatas published posthumously in 1764. For a music lover, the most beautiful piece of music is the one he listens to with delight. *Lucien*
