Beschreibung

Rossini’s late masterpiece — sacred music with operatic heart and elegance.
Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868), celebrated as one of the greatest opera composers of all time, surprised the musical world when he wrote the Petite Messe Solennelle in 1863 — decades after retiring from the stage. Composed during his later years in Passy, Paris, this remarkable sacred work blends devotional depth with Rossini’s unmistakable melodic charm and dramatic flair.
Despite its title (“Little Solemn Mass”), the score is anything but small: Rossini jokingly called it “this poor little mass”, aware that it was ambitious in scope. Originally written for two pianos, harmonium, and voices, it was later orchestrated to create the grand, radiant version for SATB choir and orchestra that continues to inspire performers and audiences today.
