Giuseppe Monterosso

Giuseppe Monterosso (15 October 1866 – 21 December 1947) was an Italian flautist, composer, conductor and music teacher. An author of music for wind orchestra, Monterosso dedicated himself to evolving the taste and style of the Cantata da Chiesa (or sacred). Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in central-southern Italy, he brought compositional solutions decidedly closer to the genre of opera into the Cantata as did the Italian-Slovene musician, Aurelio Dončič (1867–1944), his contemporary and friend. Together with Dončič in Malta, Monterosso also promoted the reform of the instrumental staff of musical bands.
