ThePetite
Messe solennelleis 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
theStabat mater, the mass
is one of the composer's
mostimportant 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 compositions as
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.

George
Perle, now an instructor
at the University of
Louisville, was born in
1915, in Bayonne, New
Jersey. He began work on
the Third String Quartet
in 1946 in Japan and
completed it the
following year in New
York City. It was
presented for the first
time at a concert of the
Forum Group of the
International Society for
Contemporary Music, in
New York City on Feb. 7,
1948. The work is based
on the following
twelve-tone series, and
its permutations and
transpositions: d;
e-flat; a-flat; b; c;
f-sharp; c-sharp;
f-natural; g; a; e;
b-flat. The score is
arranged in the present
publication in such a way
as to render unnecessary
the extraction of parts
for performance. Each
player may read his part
directly from a copy of
the score.
Composed by Rhian Samuel.

Natu
re and landscape have
been the dominant themes
of much of Rhian Samuel's
vocal music of the last
ten years, projected
chiefly through the
poetry of Anne Stevenson,
and in her most recent
song-settings, the
writings of the
Pakistan-born Texas-based
poet Zulfikar Ghose. His
poem 'Conspiracy of the
Clouds' describes how,
the clouds having chosen
to become invisible,
'Even the astronauts on
the space shuttle /
looked down on a
cloudless America' as
hurricanes ravage
Louisiana and storms
engulf Nebraska. An
intriguing conceit in the
tradition of magic
realism, the text is
presented as a scena
lasting around 16
minutes, with
interpolations from
'Haze' by the
nineteenth-century New
England transcendentalist
Henry David Thoreau. Thus
modern fable and romantic
nature-description are
juxtaposed, and their
interaction becomes the
source of musical
contrasts too. Thoreau's
words are assigned
predominantly to the
vocalist's highest
register, those of Ghose
to her lower tessitura;
and the suggestive and
dramatic accompaniment
builds tension steadily
to the final ironic
response of an
incredulous American
public: not one of awe
and wonder, but the
question 'Why weren't we
told about it?
