Gioachino Rossini: Stabat Mater: SATB: Vocal Score

Rossini's Stabat Mater with 2 Soprano Tenor and Bass solos mixed chorus and Piano reduction accompaniment. Latin sung text with separate translations into Italian English German and French.

Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. Die 'Messa di Rimini', 1809 für die Kathedrale in Rimini geschrieben, zählt neben der 'Petite Messe solennelle', dem 'Stabat Mater' und der 'Messa di Gloria' zu Rossinis umfangreichen Beiträgen zur Musica sacra. Sie besteht aus großangelegten Chorsätzen und Arien für jeden der vier Solisten; Ensembles begegnen dagegen nur zweimal, im 'Domine Deus' [Duett] und im 'Et in terra pax' [Quartett]. Eine melodienreiche und klangschöne, eher kammermusikalische Komposition, noch ohne die für Rossini später so typischen ausladenden Koloraturen und 'Crescendowalzen'. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 Cors, 2

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.

Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. Next to the 'Stabat Mater, ' the 'Petite Messe solennelle' of 1863 is Rossini’s second extensive sacred composition. Ostensibly, the work was an occasional piece, written for the dedication of a private chapel for the once well-to-do Parisian nobility. This explains the reduced instrumental accompaniment for two pianos and harmonium. Of course this instrumental garb, reminiscent of decent, elevated salon music, produces an unmistakable timbre which through its typical Rossini rhythm obtains an additional flair. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Pianos et Harmonium
