Ziani: Quel Sembiante Cosi Bello
Antonio Ziani (b Venice, c1653; d Vienna, 22 Jan 1715)
presented more than twenty operas in Venice beginning in 1679 and was
employed by the Duke of Mantua becoming the maestro di cappella at
Santa Barbara in Mantua in 1686. In 1700, he was appointed to the
position of Imperial Vice-Hofkapellmeister in Vienna. After the death
of Antonio Pancotti, the Imperial Hofkapellmeister, Ziani assumed the
responsibilities of that position in 1709, but was not officially
appointed to that post until 1712, the year Charles VI became
Emperor. Ziani was well known for his operas, oratorios, and many
other sacred works. Prolific in his use of the trombone in his
oratorios, Ziani wrote many arias in Il mistico Giobbe (1704) and La
morte vinta sul Calvario (1706) containing parts for trombone, small
ensemble, and voice. The former includes two such arias, Quel
Sembiante Cosi Bello and Tempo verrá. The latter includes three such
arias, Ho giá vinta, Or Iusinghiero, and Cosí fa splendorv
