MonsignorLorenzo Perosi (21 December 1872 - 12 October 1956) was an Italian composer of sacred music and the only member of the Giovane Scuola who did not write opera. Although less prominent today, he enjoyed international success and a great deal of fame, particularly but not only in Italy, in the late 1890s and early 1900s, chiefly because of his innovative oratorios.
