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.
