Great
opera in only 10 minutes!
An impressive early work
by Puccini is finally
available as sheet music:
The composer wrote the
cantata I figli
d’Italia bella in
1877 for a competition
held by the province of
Lucca. The text is a
paean to Italy’s
brilliant artistic
tradition, remembered
through the
country’s great
artists. The cantata has
a rather eventful
history: Considered lost
for many years, a set of
parts turned up about 20
years ago in which,
however, the vocal solo
was missing.
Subsequently, the cantata
was only performed with a
reconstructed solo part.
Then in 2019, an
anonymous and previously
unattributed manuscript
was identified as an
autograph of Puccini. It
became clear that this
was the missing complete
score! Now we can hear
how the composer captured
the text in thrilling
style with solo tenor,
choir and large orchestra
to create a vibrant work
brimming with youthful
sparkle and
energy.The
cantata perfectly
complements
Puccini’s Messa di
Gloria (Carus 56.001),
another early work by the
composer that here and
there shows some operatic
tendencies. The cantata
will also appear in
Volume III/1
(Compositions for voices
and instruments) of the
Edizione Nazionale delle
Opere di Giacomo
Puccini.- Newly
discovered Puccini

opera on a miniature
scale
