Puccini composed his Messa a 4 voci con orchestra in 1878-1880. The musical quality, the energy, and the freshness of this youthful work led the composer to quote from his Mass in later operas, ensuring an ever-growing popularity for the work after its rediscovery in 1952. With this arrangement for chamber orchestra (flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon, timpani, and strings), more choirs now have the opportunity of performing this work without the choir being dominated by a full-scale symphony orchestra. The symphonic character of the work is nevertheless preserved. This scoring offers an optimal balance between transparency and orchestral sound. All the vocal parts (soloists and chorus) are identical with the original version (56.001), so that the vocal score and chorus score of that version can be used. Score available separately - see item CA.5600100.

Puccini's first known sacred work was composed during his school days at the Istituto Pacini in Lucca. It was first performed there in 1877. The text was a hymn to the Patron Saint of Lucca which was probably written by the composer himself. The work was so popular that by 1880 it had received three further performances, though it was also inserted in the Messa a 4 voci, after the Credo. Thereafter it disappeared from the music world and was only first rediscovered in the 1990s. Since, with the exception of the lack of a solo tenor in the piece, it is identical with this one in the Messa, for this reason it would seem only natural to perform these two works together. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.2740300.

Grazie ad un’attenta analisi del catalogo della biblioteca di Elias Canetti è possibile individuare un corpus omogeneo di alcune centinaia di titoli composto da repertori paremiografici, raccolte di miti, leggende, favole, resoconti etnografici, canti e danze popolari. Scopo del libro è la messa a fuoco delle conseguenze prodotte da tale straordinario ‘archivio sull’oralità’. Da Auto da fé a Massa e potere, dalle giovanili pièces teatrali alla trilogia autobiografica e agli ultimi appunti degli anni Novanta, le opere dello studioso risultano tenute assieme da una sofisticata strutturazione acustica del pensiero, una metodologia della comprensione che di quel materiale si nutriva assiduamente, talvolta producendo interventi di autentica ‘archeologia sonora’. Interventi eseguiti in quella particolare officina mobile, avente per base la biblioteca-studio, che non smetteva di operare nelle osterie e nei caffè notturni, sui tram e per le strade, traendone anzi preziosa linfa. Da quei luoghi prediletti, Canetti ascoltava ed osservava il brulicare del popolo, che come nei quadri di Bruegel può essere placido e festoso, ma anche mostrare i denti e colpire al cuore; lì elaborava le nozioni di ‘cristalli di massa’, ‘metamorfosi’, ‘scarica’, sempre e innanzitutto aiutandosi con l’udito, come chi si serva dell’olfatto prima di portare cibo alla bocca. Seguendo questo intricato itinerario acustico è possibile incontrare Karl Kraus, Alban Berg, Hermann Scherchen, Cesare Pavese, James Joyce, Alma e Anna Mahler; e poi la lingua dei Boscimani, arcaica portatrice di miti, le voci degli animali e la danza dei Maori, il rumore prodotto dalle gocce di pioggia e le allucinazioni auditive di uno schizofrenico, la ‘massa statica’ dei concerti e la figura del direttore d’orchestra, incarnazione del potere: il tutto in una fitta trama di oralità, suono e musica che diventa per il lettore, come lo fu per lo scrittore, anche inesauribile e spesso inedita fonte di dati.
