Extract

Galuppi made his fortune in the theatres. He made his living in the churches. From the age of 34 he was continually in the service of one or other of the ecclesiastical organizations of Venice. In 1740 he was director of music at the ospedale of the Mendicanti, which in effect was the post of composer-in-ordinary to its chapel. In 1748 he was appointed vice-maestro di cappella at S. Marco, holding the two posts simultaneously for some four years. He continued at S. Marco for the rest of his life, becoming its maestro in 1762; while he returned to the service of an ospedale in 1762, this time the Incurabili (where he was to serve in the years 1762-5 and 1768-76), again holding the jobs in plurality to the end of his life.
