Full Score and complete set of Parts for Giacomo Puccini's Crisantemi and three Minuets. Scored for String Orchestra with foreword in English German and Italian.

Giacomo Puccini furthered his reputation as one of the leading figures in Italian opera when he composed one of the world's most popular operas 'Madame Butterfly' to a libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa based on the book by John L. Long and the drama by David Belasco. The inspiration for the plot came from an American play by David Belasco which captured the composer's immediate interest when he saw it in London. Based on the heartbreak of Madama Butterfly a 15-year-old Japanese girl who abandons her people and her religion in a marriage to Pinkerton a United States Naval Lieutenant and in a conversion to Christianity the work undoubtedly had greater meaning toits American audiences following the occupation of U.S. troops in Asia during the mid- and late-twentieth century. The story of 'Madame Butterfly' also recently inspired Boubill and Schonberg's musical 'Miss Saigon'.This is the Schirmer edition of the Vocal Score in the original Italian with an English translation by John Gutman.

Ed. critica di Martin Deasy - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte. Par PUCCINI GIACOMO. Here, appearing for the first time, is the piano vocal score of Le Willis, Giacomo Puccini’s first stage work, whose full score remained unpublished until 2020, when it was issued by Casa Ricordi (NR 139546).The critical edition by Martin Deasy is based, as far as the first six Numbers are concerned, on the autograph score that Puccini reutilized for composing Le Villi. The autograph pages incorporating the final Number – pages that were later removed, in order to make space for the new material produced for Le Villi– are also proposed as the principal text.Pursuing an innovative philological approach, the editor has, furthermore, taken into due consideration the contemporaneous printed editions of the piano vocal score, on the assumption that they constitute the principal collateral sources, if one considers the particular genesis of this work. For it is certain that Puccini, upon entering the Sonzogno competition, submitted a score of Willis that lacked proper orchestration in a few pages and displayed, above all, incomplete vocal lines. However, he also provided a manuscript reduction for piano and vocal score (now lost, except for the final Number of Willis) that was undoubtedly more detailed, as far as the vocal lines were concerned. The editor proves that the vocal material produced for the first performance of Willis was not copied from the autograph score, but from the lost score reduction. The latter also served as the basis for the preparation of Ricordi’s printed edition of the piano vocal score./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Ed. critica di Martin Deasy - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte. Par PUCCINI GIACOMO. What is being presented here is the piano vocal score of Le Villi, Giacomo Puccini’s first stage work, the full score of which was published by Casa Ricordi (NR 141755) in 2020.The premiere of Le Villi took place at the Teatro Regio in Turin on 27 December 1884, and was followed by a Milanese performance at Teatro alla Scala on 24 January 1885: both productions were quite well received by critics and public alike.The critical edition by Martin Deasy is based on the autograph score that Puccini initially prepared for the one-act version (Willis), and later modified for the two-act, revised version (Villi). Pursuing a groundbreaking philological approach, the editor has, furthermore, taken into proper consideration the contemporaneous printed editions of the piano vocal score, which constitute, in his view, the principal collateral sources, if one is to consider the particular genesis of this work. For it is certain that Puccini, upon entering the Sonzogno competition, submitted a score of Willis that lacked proper orchestration in a few pages and displayed, above all, incomplete vocal lines. However, he also provided a manuscript reduction for piano and vocal score (now lost, except for the final Number of Willis) that was undoubtedly more detailed, as far as the vocal lines were concerned. The editor demonstrates that the vocal material realized for the first performance of Willis was not derived from the autograph score, but from the lost score reduction. The latter also served as the basis for the preparation of Ricordi’s printed edition of the piano vocal score./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

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

Giacomo Puccini: La Rondine UE9653B Lyric Comedy in 3 Acts Edition type: piano reduction Composer: Puccini Giacomo Version: 1. Fassung [Edition 1917] Languages: English, Italian

Par CORDISCO-RESPIGHI N.. Descendant de plusieurs générations de musiciens, Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) naît en Toscane puis bénéficie d'une bourse pour étudier à  Milan, où vivant un peu comme son futur Rodolpho de La Bohême, il rencontre son premier librettiste, Fontana, qui lui propose Le Villi. Soutenu par Boito et édité par Ricordi, Puccini connaît ainsi son premier succês lyrique et tombe amoureux d'Elvira qui lui donnera un fils. Aprês l'échec d'Edgar lorgnant vers le Grand Opéra, Puccini trouvera sa voie principalement dans les drames amoureux : Manon Lescaut, La Bohême, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, La fanciulla del West, La Rondine ou encore l'incahevé Turandot. Seul Gianni Schicchi, en 1 acte, lorgne vers le comique. En Puccini coexistent l'artiste et l'homme, avec toutes ses contradictions et ses défauts, laissant finalement - seulement - 14 opéras, pour la plupart devenus des incontournables du répertoire lyrique. Cet ouvrage inédit sur le maestro italien propose de nombreuses illustrations et des exemples musicaux permettant de mieux aborder ce répertoire lyrique, ainsi que des annexes pratiques. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Par PUCCINI GIACOMO. Puccini wrote the short Requiem – actually the setting of the antiphon to the Introit of the Mass for the Dead – as a commission for the publisher Giulio Ricordi for the fourth anniversary of the death of Giuseppe Verdi, which occurred on 27 January1905. Today the work is often performed, since this setting for three voices can be easily performed by amateur choirs and requires only a viola and a harmonium [or organ] as accompanying instruments. / Requiem / Répertoire / Choeur STB, Alto Solo et Orgue

on Themes of Giacomo Puccini-The famous Puccini motifs in this work are taken from Tosca (E lucevan le stelle) Turandot (Nessun dorma) Gianni Schicci (O mio babbino caro) and a quite funny little persifl age of the aria Senti L’ora e vicina from Tosca. The Spirit of Puccini has testing moments for each of the principal players of the band´s sections. Even although the music was inspired by this famous Italian composer Hermann Pallhuber has succeeded in creating a piece of ‘real band music’ combining both the Italian influences and the modern British brass band sound.
