Marcos António (da Fonseca) Portugal [Portogallo]
(Lisbon, 24 March 1762 - Rio de Janeiro, 7 February 1830)
Portuguese composer. Son of Manuel António da Ascenção and Joaquina Teresa Rosa, in 1771 he was admitted to the Seminário da Patriarcal of Lisbon, where he studied organ and composition with João de Sousa Carvalho. By 1787, he was sent to study in Italy, where he made a name for himself writing opera buffa. By 1800 he had returned to Lisbon as 'mestre de capela' to the royal court and maestro of the Teatro de Sao Carlos. When Napoleon’s troops entered Lisbon in November 1807, he in spite of his court position did not flee to Brazil with the royal family. During the ten-month French occupation he revised 'Demofoonte' for Napoleon’s birthday in 1808. About this time, and until 1834, the finale of his cantata 'La speranza' was adopted as the national anthem. In 1811 he fled to Rio de Janeiro with his brother Simão Portugal, where he composed music for the Teatro São João. When the court returned to Portugal in 1817, he remained in Brazil the rest of his life. As a composer, he composed a substantial amount of church music and 50 operas. He also left few instrumental works, among them, two symphonies.
