Biography
Carlo Fumagalli (1822-1907) was an Italian composer, arranger and teacher active in Milan. His work includes piano music, sacred compositions and organ pieces. He is particularly associated with adaptations of operatic melodies for the organ, reflecting the close relationship between theatrical and church music in nineteenth-century Italy. His Messa solenne on themes from Verdi’s Giovanna di Guzman is an example of this practice.
