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.

Tonalité : C-Dur - Kred 326. Par DITTERSDORF CARL DITTERS VON. Of the 19 Masses by Dittersdorf which have been handed down, the present Mass, which is being published for the first time, enjoyed a special popularity during the composer’s lifetime and it was even performed for the coronation of emperor Franz II in the Frankfurt Cathedral. This solemn, prestigious Mass shows evidence of choral movements in traditional contrapuntal church style as well solo parts with a modern, cantabile character. In addition, the Gloria includes a lengthy virtuosic violin solo, which also lends the work a concertante character [Dittersdorf was a professional violinist]. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 Clarinet

Wiemer, Wolfgang (Arr.) - Br Jcfb E 1. Par BACH JOHANN CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH. Nicht nur die Musiker des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts haben - schon aus liturgischen Gründen - immer wieder Vertonungen des Bußpsalms 50 [51] vorgelegt. Auch noch in späterer, säkularisierterer Zeit pflegten gelegentlich Komponisten diese Tradition, so der 'Bückeburger' Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach mit seiner 12-sätzigen Komposition von etwa 1770, die erst 1975 entdeckt wurde. Fast nur in B-Tonarten angesiedelt, besteht Bachs 'Miserere' aus einem ausgewogenen Wechsel von Chor- und Soloabschnitten. Gemeinsames Stilmerkmal aller Teile sind vor allem die reich verwendeten 'empfindsamen' Vorhaltsbildungen und kleinen Ziernoten. Als Beispiel des vorklassischen Zeitalters eignetsich die Komposition gut für epochenübergreifende Programme mit Fasten- und Bußkompositionen. / Date parution : 1991-09-01/ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Violons, Alto et Bas
