Giuseppe Bertini (composer)

Giuseppe Bertini (January 20, 1759 – March 15, 1852) was an Italian composer, choral conductor, lexicographer, scholar, and Roman Catholic priest.

He was educated at the Piarist institution Scuole Pie degli Scolopi, and was ordained as a priest in the Roman Catholic church.

The brothers both created music compositions for a memorial service given in early 1789 in honor of Charles III who died in December 1788.

[1] As a composer, Giuseppe Bertini wrote a large amount of sacred music including masses and works for vespers, but none of it survives.

He wrote a music dictionary, Dizionario storico-critico degli scrittori di musica, which was published in Palermo in 1814–1815.
