About
In 1889 he was appointed organist to the Schola Cantorum in St. Mark’s. In 1893, when the young Lorenzo Perosi took over from Tebaldini, and Marco Enrico Bossi arrived in Venice to take up the post of Director and professor of organ at the Liceo Musicale, Ravanello became the second organist of St. Mark’s Basilica; two years later he was appointed first organist.
At this time the memorable musical get-togethers took place between the formidable trio of musicians and friends: Bossi, Perosi and Ravanello. ‘Duels’ in improvisation took place on the two organs in St. Mark’s often in the presence of Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto, who was to become Pope Pius X. In 1898 Ravanello became maestro di cappella of the Basilica of Sant’Antonio in Padua, a role he held until 1936.
In 1902 Bossi named him successor to his position of professor of organ. From 1912 to 1938 he taught composition at the Istituto Musicale Cesare Pollini in Padua, where he was director, and where he invited Arnold Schönberg to direct Pierrot Lunaire. He died in Padua on 2 July 1938.
He was a virtuoso and incredible improviser, and he and Bossi were considered to be the greatest Italian organists. He was a profound scholar of early polyphony (he examined the entire corpus of Palestrina’s works) and was a strong supporter of the Cecilian Movement. His numerous compositions were mainly written for liturgy. Some of his more extensive works are cornerstones of the Italian organ music of that period, such as the Sonata in D minor and the Fantaisie Op.31 on this CD, the Sei pezzi per grand’organo Op.50, Adorazione, the Suite entitled Mystica and the Tema e variazioni.
