Everything about Willem De Fesch totally explained
Willem de Fesch (
1687,
Alkmaar –
January 3,
1761) was a
virtuoso Dutch violone player and
composer.
The pupil of
Karel Rosier, who was a Vice-
Kapellmeister at
Bonn, Willem later married his daughter, Maria Anna Rosier.
De Fesch was active in
Amsterdam between
1710 and
1725. From 1725 to
1731 he served as
Kapellmeister at
Antwerp Cathedral.
Thereafter he moved to
London where he gave concerts and played the violone in
Handel's
orchestra in
1746. In 1748 and 1749 he conducted at
Marylebone Gardens. He apparently made no public appearances after 1750.
His works included the
oratorios "Judith" (1735) and "Joseph" (1746), as well as
chamber duets, solo and trio
sonatas,
concertos and part songs. Both oratorios were thought lost until 1980 when a copy of a manuscript of "Joseph" was found in London's
Royal Academy of Music.
De Fesch's music was influenced by the Italians, particularly
Vivaldi, as well as Handel.
