Faà di Bruno, Giovanni Matteo [Horatio, Orazio]


(fl c1570). Italian composer. He was a member of one of the leading aristocratic families of Casale Monferrato, well connected to the Gonzagas of Mantua, who ruled the duchy. These connections are reflected in his publications: his first book of madrigals is dedicated to Duke Guglielmo Gonzaga and his second to Vincenzo, Guglielmo’s son and heir. The Primo libro was assembled by Andrea Botta, maestro di cappella of the cathedral at Casale, whose dedicatory preface to the second edition of 1573 describes Faà’s residence as a centre of musical activity in the city and also reports that Faà’s music for vespers, written for the cathedral some years earlier, had now been published. This book, the Salmi di David, also of 1573, contains a number of motets (one for eight voices) as well as a sequence of vespers psalms (in a simple and largely homophonic style) together with alternative settings of the Magnificat. For his second edition of 1587, the Brescian printer Bozzola duplicated the vespers music, omitted the motets and included a number of fresh pieces by Antonio Mortaro, then at the start of his career and presumably resident in the city.

Italian singer. See Fabri, Annibale Pio.

Fabbri(-Mulder), Inez [Schmidt, Agnes]


(b Vienna, 26 Jan 1831; d San Francisco, 30 Aug 1909). American soprano and impresario of Austrian birth. She studied in Vienna, making her début in the title role of Lucrezia Borgia in Kassa (Kaschau), Hungary (now Košice, Slovakia), in 1847. She was prima donna of the Stadttheater in Hamburg in 1857, and that year was engaged by the impresario Richard Mulder (1822–74), whom she married, to tour the Americas, Canada and the Caribbean islands. Her 25 appearances at the Winter Gardens, New York, in 1860 in a publicity ‘war’ with Patti secured her international reputation. For the next two years the Fabbri-Mulder Troupe toured North America. She returned to Europe in 1862, becoming prima donna of the Frankfurt Stadttheater in 1864, where she remained for seven years. On the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, she and Mulder returned to the USA. In 1872, the year after which Fabbri appeared at Covent Garden, they joined forces with another company to present an opera season in New York. In winter 1872–3 Fabbri and Mulder produced 43 operas at the California Theater, San Francisco, and in 1874 they staged the first performance in the city of Die Zauberflöte. Fabbri alone produced a remarkable season (1875–6) in which she directed and sang in 60 operas. Her repertory included at least 46 different roles as well as appearances at many special concerts. She retired from the stage in 1880 and undertook several unsuccessful operatic ventures. Her musical memorabilia are in the music library at the University of California at Berkeley.

Fabbri, Mario


(b Florence, 7 Jan 1931; d Florence, 12 June 1983). Italian musicologist. He studied the piano with Scarlino, composition with Frazzi (1949–56), the organ with Bützler, early instruments with Rapp, and palaeography at the University of Parma (1958). He worked initially in Perugia, as professor of music history and librarian at the conservatory (1959–62) and as a lecturer at the Università per Stranieri (1960–62). Subsequently he taught at Florence Conservatory (1962–82), where he was also chief librarian (until 1970) and director of the museum of early instruments; he was appointed to a teaching post at the Graduate School of Fine Arts in Villa Schifanoia (1969–75). He was professor of music history at Florence University (1969–82), artistic director of the Accademia Musicale Chigiana (1963–9) and guest lecturer at Duke University, North Carolina (1968). He was editor of Chigiana (appointed 1964) and president of the Accademia Nazionale Luigi Cherubini (1972–80). Fabbri’s numerous publications indicate a wide range of interests; his work on the music history of Tuscany from the 15th to the 18th century is particularly valuable.
