Theobaldo di Gatti

Theobaldo di Gatti (c.1650-1727) was a composer and musician, born in Florence. He moved from Italy to France after hearing the music of Jean-Baptiste Lully. King Louis XIV made him a naturalised French subject in 1675. In France he was simply known by the name Théobalde.[1]

He earned his living playing the bass viol, both as a teacher and as a member of the orchestra of the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera). He composed songs, duets and two works for the stage.

gollark: At this point I would probably quite like to go to a saner country in some years, but there are not really that many majority-english-speaking ones which also are good.
gollark: yeees, except *slightly* less insane.
gollark: I mean, yes, compared to third-world countries like... most African ones, or the US, we're doing okay.
