About Martini
1) Jean Paul Egide Martini, (August 31, 1741-February 10, 1816) was a composer of classical music. Sometimes known as Martini Il Tedesco, he is best known today for the vocal romance "Plaisir d'Amour," from his opera Annette and Lubin, on which the 1961 Elvis Presley standard "Can't Help Falling in Love" is based. Martini was born Johann Paul Aegidius Schwarzendorf in Freystadt, Germany. He adopted the family name Martini after moving to France as a young man. There, he established a successful career as a court musician. Having directed concerts for the Queen he adapted to the changing regimes throughout the French Revolution, and later wrote music for Napoleon's marriage as well as for the restored Royal Chapel. In 1764, he married Marguerite Camelot. His melodic opera L'amoureux de quinze ans written in 1771 enjoyed great success. In addition, his highly popular church music combined old forms with modern theatricality, and his chansons including "Plaisir D'Amour" were influential. In 1800 he became professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire. He died in Paris in February of 1816. 2) Martini was an American metal band from Ohio, they started as Gargantua during the 80s releasing a demo in 1990 then after their drummer Kenny Larkin lost his battle against cancer changed name to Martini and this is their only effort before quitting: Line up: Tim Martini - vocals Gregg Martini - guitar Al Grewell - bass Jan Roll - drums
