Per Coro E Orchestra - Partitura. Par PIZZETTI ILDEBRANDO. / Répertoire / Choeur et Orchestre

Par PUCCINI GIACOMO. Puccini’s first known sacred work was composed during his school days at the “Istituto Pacini” in Lucca. It was first performed there in 1877. The text was a hymn to the Patron Saint of Lucca which was probably written by the composer himself. The work was so popular that by 1880 it had received three further performances, though it was also inserted in the Messa a 4 voci, after the Credo. Thereafter it disappeared from the music world and was only first rediscovered in the 1990s. Since, with the exception of the lack of a solo tenor in the piece, it is identical with this one in the Messa, for this reason it would seem only natural to perform these two works together./ Répertoire / Choeur et Orchestre

Kantate zum Sonntag Quasimodogeniti. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Instead of an opening chorus Cantata BWV 42 begins with a magnificent Sinfonia in the style of the Brandenburg Concertos. It is possible that Bach took this movement from a concerto which he had composed earlier. The first aria, for alto with obbligato oboe and bassoon, could be derived from the middle movement of this concerto. The heroic bass aria, a statement of the certainty of faith, forms a weighty counterpart to the opening movement./ Répertoire / Choeur et Orchestre

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Celui qui a tenté de composer un Latin masse dans le milieu du XIXe siècle avait rivaliser avec les grands modèles et techniques de composition traditionnelle. La messe en si mineur Bach et la Missa solemnis de Beethoven, mais même sa antérieure Messe en ut majeur (interprétée par Schumann) est parmi les oeuvres clés d'une grande tradition de masse à la réception du romantisme élevé. Pas à la différence de Schubert et plus tard Bruckner avant, Messe de Schumann en ut mineur trop est lié par la tradition, mais trouve sa formulation très propre de la ' Ordinarium Missae ', les traits caractéristiques qui pointent vers le style fin du compositeur./ Répertoire / Choeur et Orchestre
