Giorgio Pacchioni was born in Soliera, Modena, Italy, on July 16, 1947. After the normal course of studies at the Conservatory, he has a brief but significant activity as clarinetist. During those years he collaborates with and conducts some vocal groups such as the Chorale "O. Vecchi" of Mirandola, the "Almæ Matris" Choir of the University of Bologna, and the Chorale Gazzotti of Modena, with whom he produces several concerts. He plays with several musicians and chamber music groups, performing with a wide number of renaissance and baroque instruments (recorder and transverse flutes, bombarda, crumhorns, cornetto, bass trombone, viola da gamba, lira da gamba, and several percussion instruments). Currently, he holds the chair of Recorder at the Conservatory "G.B. Martini" of Bologna, Italy. As a polyhedrical concert performer, he has performed in the most important Italian theatres. He went on tour to many European countries, where he also made recordings for TV and radio broadcasting stations. His study of renaissance and baroque counterpoint through a consideration of the contemporary sources led him to repeat the creative experiences of well known composers of the past (composing them again in his own hand, following the same technical criteria), including:
He devoted particular studies to the professional didactics of music and to the study of "historical" compositions, led by the aim of retrieving the didactic techniques of the past for use by present and future professional musicians. He is the author of several didactic publications, well known in the early music field:
He is one of the leading figures among the performers of and the researchers on the composer A.F. Vallotti (1697-1780) whose compositional precepts he aims to champion in our century by means of his own activity both as a teacher of historical counterpoint and as conductor of vocal and instrumental groups specialized in reproducing Vallotti's sacred music. The latter groups include the Baroque Orchestra of Bologna and the Vocal Ensemble Michelangelo, with whom he has recently produced several concerts of relevant works by Vallotti, such as Dies Iræ 1756) and Gloria in D major (1749). Recently he has completed the full reconstruction of the part of the (missing) tenor of the "Secondo libro de Madrigali a Cinque Voci con i Passaggi" of Girolamo Dalla Casa (1590) requested by the "Associazione ANTIQUA," Italy. This work has generated a CD which was also highly recommended by the Jury of the "Premio Internazionale del disco Antonio Vivaldi."
