Giuseppe Manente ( Morcone , February 13, 1867 - Rome , May 18, 1941 ) was an Italian composer , conductor and trumpeter .
Giuseppe Manente received his first musical education from his father Liborio, director of the Sorrento Civic Band and the Guglionesi Band . In the latter band he became a trumpeter. He then deepened his instrumental practice with Domenico Gatti and studied harmony , counterpoint and composition with G. Guarro and Camillo De Nardis at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella in Naples . He also studied at the Royal Conservatory of Madrid with Emilio Serrano and later at the National Academy of Santa Ceciliain Rome with Cesare De Santis .
In 1889 he won the competition for the position of music leader of the band of the 60th Infantry Regiment in Novara , with which he participated in concerts at the National Exhibition of Turin in 1900. In 1902 he conducted the orchestra of the Royal Palace of Turin in a concert of his own compositions, in the presence of King Vittorio Emanuele III and the royal family. In 1905 he became Head of Music of the band of the 3rd Infantry Regiment in Pistoia. He also directed the 43rd Infantry Regiment band. In 1910, at the request of the Ministry of Defense, he composed the "Musical Fragments for use in gymnastics of the Line Infantry Regiments". Also at the ministerial request he was appointed Head of Music of the band of the 2nd Grenadier Regiment in Rome in 1911, with whom, in 1918, he held a series of concerts in New York. In the same year, with the band, he was also in Paris, London and Brussels, participating in the celebrations of the victory.
In 1921 he was called to Egypt by King Fouad I to direct the band of the Royal Guards, a position which he held until 1924, when he won the post of director of the newly formed Band of the Guardia di Finanza , which debuted under his leadership the April 25, 1925 with a concert in Piazza Colonna in Rome, a place then used for numerous band concerts. Shortly before his leave, which took place in February 1932, he held a concert in Guglionesi, again with the Band of the Guardia di Finanza, on June 12, 1931.
In addition to military complexes, he was also director of civilian gangs, including those of Lucca , Pescia and Montecatini Terme . He was also artistic director of the Adolfo Lapini editions of Florence and critic for music magazines such as Il Plettro in Milan, Vita Mandolinistica in Bologna and L'Estudiantina in Paris.
There are over 800 publications per band , both as a composer and as a transcriber. In addition to band compositions, military, symphonic, funeral and religious marches , to characteristic pieces, symphonies etc. he composed the one-act opera Alla Regata and the operetta Il Paradiso dei Cigni . He is also the author of chamber music, vocal music, songs for voice and mandolin, and over a hundred compositions for plectrum and plucked instrument formations (very popular at the time). Often the same compositions exist in double guise: both for band and for plectrum orchestra. His compositions for plectrum orchestra are still widely performed in Japan .
He died in Rome on May 18, 1941 and was buried next to his wife Ida Visdomini in the cemetery of Guglionesi, a city that dedicated a street to him.
