This newest volume in The Works of Giuseppe Verdi series comprises
his only two surviving secular choral works: "Inno popolare," or
"Hymn of the People," for unaccompanied male chorus, and "Inno
delle nazioni," or "Hymn of the Nations," for tenor solo, chorus,
and orchestra.
Verdi wrote the brief "Inno popolare" in 1848 at the behest of the
Italian philosopher and patriot Giuseppe Mazzini, intending that it
become an anthem for Italy at a time when the country had just
driven away its Austrian overlords. He wrote no more independent
patriotic pieces until he was asked in 1861 to represent his
country with a patriotic composition at a musical jubilee during
London's International Exhibition of 1862. The resulting piece was
"Inno delle nazioni," the critical edition of which is based on
Verdi's autograph score, preserved at the British Library. Other
important sources include the composer's musical sketches, recently
discovered in the Verdi family villa, and the performing parts
Toscanini used for a BBC broadcast in 1943.
