Amilcare Ponchielli (1834-1886) is known nowadays mainly as an opera composer and the composition teacher of Giacomo Puccini and Pietro Mascagni. He scored his greatest success in 1876 at La Scala Milan with the opera La Gioconda, a work which is still in the repertoire of the major opera houses. Ponchielli's sacred works were composed in his later years, when he was maestro di cappella at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo. There his Mass in A major op. 20 (also known as Messa per la notte di natale) was premiered on Christmas Day 1882. The Mass is captivating because of its flowing, singable melodies, rich harmonies, and warm tonal colors. The important role given to the chorus, with which the three male soloists interact closely, is striking. The first music edition of the Messa is a real discovery for choirs with good male voices; the second tenor part can largely be sung by the baritones.

Amilcare Ponchielli was born in 1834 in Paderno, Italy, and died in Milan in 1886. Ponchielli
studied at the prestigious Milan Conservatory between the ages of 9 and 18. He is most
recognized for his opera, La Gioconda, and primarily its ballet, The Dance of the Hours, which
premiered at La Scala in Milan in 1876. Ponchielli composed Paolo e Viginia in March of 1877 for
violin, clarinet and piano. In addition to composing, Ponchielli served as an organist in Cremona,
a bandmaster in Piacenza, and Maestro di Cappella at the Bergamo Cathedral. Ponchielli also
taught composition at the Milan Conservatory and counted Puccini among his pupils.
Gibbs' arrangement of Paolo e Viginia for Eb Clarinet, Bb Clarinet and Piano was commissioned
in August, 2000 by Diane Cawein Barger and Thomas Leistner. It premiered as part of a memorial
recital for Robert Marcellus on September 23, 2000.
