Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle
Those familiar with the piece will know that it is neither small nor solemn but is a sacred mass in a distinctly operatic style. With his masterful use of pace, rhythm, dynamics, rich harmonies and melody Rossini builds colour, drama and intensity into the piece - a display of musical joie de vivre that can't help but have feet tapping and tunes being hummed. The instrumental Preludio Religioso and the fugal sections offer a rare glimpse of a more serious and academic Rossini.
There is something for everyone.
