Carlo Antonio Nagli (c. 1680 – 5 November 1756)[1] was an Italian composer of Baroque music who was one of a number of Italian baroque musicians to live temporarily or permanently in Croatia.[1][2][3]

Biography[edit]

Born at the end of the 17th century in Rimini, Nagli arrived in Dalmatia in 1707 and was active as maestro di cappella at the Cathedral of Saint Domnius in Split, possibly until 1726 and then again from 1738 to 1743. From 1743, he was the chapelmaster of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice, where he died in 1756.[1]

Works[edit]

Little is known about his life and only a few compositions have been preserved. Among the preserved pieces are two masses, and four credos.[2] The manuscripts of both masses are kept in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, while three of the credos are in the archive of the Cathedral of Saint Domnius in Split. One hymn dated 1740 to Saint Domnius, the patron saint of the city of Split, is kept today in the Split City Museum.[1]
