Overview

"Petite messe solennelle" is one of Gioachino Rossini’s final masterpieces and stands as a unique and deeply personal expression of sacred music. Originally composed in 1863 for a modest ensemble consisting of four soloists, mixed choir, two pianos, and harmonium, this version highlights Rossini’s intimate and refined compositional style during his later years. Far from the theatrical brilliance of his operas, the Petite messe solennelle reveals a mature composer blending solemnity with lyrical elegance and subtle wit.

This critical edition, edited by Davide Daolmi, offers performers and scholars a thoroughly researched and authoritative version of the score, taking into account Rossini’s original manuscripts and historical sources. It illuminates the composer’s intentions with meticulous editorial notes and performance guidelines that enhance both study and interpretation. The Petite messe solennelle combines intricate counterpoint, expressive vocal lines, and harmonically rich piano writing, creating a sacred work that is both majestic and intimate. Its unique instrumentation and structural clarity make it a frequent choice for performance in both liturgical contexts and concert halls, embodying Rossini’s signature blend of reverence and musical charm. "Petite messe solennelle" is one of Gioacchino Rossini's most celebrated works, arranged for soloists, choir, two pianos, and harmonium. This critical edition, edited by Davide Daolmi, provides a comprehensive score that reflects the nuances of Rossini's composition style. The work is characterized by its rich harmonies and melodic lines, making it a favorite in both liturgical and concert settings.

Italian Translation - Overview 

La "Petite messe solennelle" è una delle ultime e più significative composizioni di Gioachino Rossini, un’opera sacra dal carattere intimo e riflessivo che segna il culmine della sua produzione tardiva. Composta nel 1863 per un organico ridotto composto da quattro solisti, coro misto, due pianoforti e armonium, questa versione mette in risalto la scrittura elegante, raffinata e profondamente personale del compositore pesarese.

Questa edizione critica, curata da Davide Daolmi, restituisce al pubblico e agli interpreti un testo musicale affidabile e approfonditamente analizzato, frutto di un attento studio delle fonti manoscritte originali e dei documenti storici. L’edizione è arricchita da note critiche e suggerimenti interpretativi che facilitano la comprensione dello stile rossiniano e delle intenzioni dell’autore. L’opera si distingue per l’equilibrio tra rigore contrappuntistico, melodie vocali espressive e scrittura pianistica ricca di sfumature armoniche. Grazie alla sua particolare orchestrazione e alla fusione tra solennità e grazia melodica, la Petite messe solennelle continua a essere apprezzata sia in ambito liturgico sia in contesti concertistici.

German Translation - Overview 

Die "Petite messe solennelle" gehört zu den letzten und bedeutendsten Werken von Gioachino Rossini und stellt eine zutiefst persönliche und zugleich originelle Annäherung an die geistliche Musik dar. Ursprünglich im Jahr 1863 für eine Besetzung aus vier Solisten, gemischtem Chor, zwei Klavieren und Harmonium komponiert, zeichnet sich diese Fassung durch ihre kammermusikalische Intimität und ihre stilistische Eleganz aus, die Rossinis Spätwerk prägt.

Diese kritische Ausgabe, herausgegeben von Davide Daolmi, basiert auf den originalen Handschriften Rossinis sowie weiteren historischen Quellen. Sie bietet eine sorgfältig rekonstruierte und editorisch fundierte Partitur, ergänzt durch umfangreiche Anmerkungen und Aufführungshinweise, die einen tiefen Einblick in Rossinis musikalisches Denken ermöglichen. Die Petite messe solennelle vereint meisterhafte Kontrapunktik mit melodischem Einfallsreichtum und einer reichen Harmonik, die besonders in der Klavierbegleitung zur Geltung kommt. Durch ihre ungewöhnliche Besetzung und die Mischung aus Ernst und Anmut ist das Werk sowohl für liturgische Feiern als auch für Konzertaufführungen bestens geeignet und bleibt ein fester Bestandteil des sakralen Repertoires.
