Alessandro Santini

(c.1700 - c.1740)

Italian composer and priest. His life remains largely undocumented, with his historical existence primarily deduced from surviving musical manuscripts. He is best known for an anonymous manuscript published in Venice titled 'Sonate a flauto e basso del Sigr Alessandro Santini' (cataloged under I-Vqs, MS. 1 129, Cl. VIII, Cod. 29). Additionally, his priesthood is inferred from his attribution in several religious compositions, including a 'Salve Regina Antifona a 5 voci miste', 'Melodie gregoriane per la benedizione e per varie circostanze / accompagnamento per organo od armonio a cura del m.° p. Alessandro Santini' i 'Concentus eucharistici 2-3-4 paribus vocibus organo comitante'.
