Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. The “ Petite Messe Solennelle ” is the finest work of Rossini ’s late years. He composed it between 1863 and 1864 at the age of 71 as a commission for Countess Louise Pillet-Will for the consecration of her private chapel, where the work received its first performance in March 1864. Together with the “Stabat mater”, the mass is one of the composer’s most important sacred works. The unusual instrumentation with two Pianos and Harmonium is entirely in keeping with the Neapolitan Keyboard tradition of the 18th century which was cultivated in France in Rossini ’s day. It forms a distinct contrast to the style of large-scale sacred compositionsas written by, for example, Liszt and Bruckner. Rossini explained that he wrote the later Orchestral version of the work dating from 1867 out of concern that if he did not do this, other composers might orchestrate the mass too heavily in later arrangements. The Piano reduction by Andreas Köhs is extremely idiomatic and largely preserves the charming character of the unusual instrumentation. - Based on the Urtext of the series “Works of Gioachino Rossini”. - Foreword in two languages (Eng/Ger). - With a separate Harmonium part and one part for Pianos I and II. / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur Mixte et Orchestre

Par ZELENKA JAN DISMAS. The Missa Omnium Sanctorum ZWV 21 is Zelenka?s last mass setting. It contains three extended arias (one each for soprano, alto and tenor), concertante choruses and unusually expressive choral fugues. Especially powerful in effect is the through-composed Credo in this mass, with a ritornello that is one of Zelenka?s most beautiful inspirations. The score and parts material of this new edition are based on the corresponding volume of the ?Das Erbe deutscher Musik? series, from which Breitkopf and Härtel also took over both its informative preface as well as the critical report. 'Zelenka?s artistic personality, his biography and his compositional style are utterly distinctive. His style is highly experimental. Was Zelenka really one of the greatest composers of the 18th century, or only one of the most interesting' I think that he still has several surprises for us.' (Schweizerische Musikzeitung) 'Zelenka?s Masses - fine specimens of Baroque choral literature, some parts of which are set even more colorfully than in the corresponding compositions by Bach.'

Tonalité : D-Dur - Mh 826. Par HAYDN JOHANN MICHAEL. Johann Michael Haydn worked for over 40 years at the Court of the Prince Bishop in Salzburg, in whose employment he composed most of his music. However, the Missa sub titulo Sancti Francisci Seraphici was composed in 1803 on commission from the Viennese Imperial Court, on the occasion of the name day of Emperor Franz I. Two years previously, his wife Empress Marie Theresia had already commissioned a large Mass with a gradual, an offertory and a Te Deum on the occasion of her own name day [Missa sub titulo Sanctae Theresiae, 50. 328]. Both Masses are impressive because of their size and their unusually large instrumental forces. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 Trompett

Orgelsolomesse. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Der Beiname dieser Messe verdankt sich der eigenständig-solistischen Präsenz des Orgelinstruments während des 'Benedictus'-Abschnittes. Damit steht KV 259 in einer bis in die 1730er Jahre zurückreichende Tradition, die sich durch Komponistennamen vor allem aus dem Wiener Raum, wie Georg Reuter, Joseph Haydn, Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf oder Johann Baptist Vanhal belegen lässt. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Clarinettes, Timbale
