Giuseppe Giordani

Giuseppe Giordani (19 December 1751 – 4 January 1798) shares the name with his father. His brother is Tommaso Giovanni Giordani, a composer in his own right. Giuseppe Giordani Jr. was an Italian opera composer, a pupil of Domenico Cimarosa and Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli. In 1774 he was appointed as musical director of the chapel of the Duomo of Naples.[1]. He wrote operas as well as oratorios. His oratorio La distruzione di Gerusalemme was performed at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples in 1787, with considerable success.(ibid.)
