(Music Sales America). Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) referred to his Petite Messe Solennelle as the 'last mortal sin of my old age'. Written in 1863 for the Countess Louise Pillet-Will and first performed on 14 March 1864 at the consecration of the Countess' private chapel, the Mass is one of Rossini's finest achievements and the outstanding work of his 'retirement'. This vocal score is set for SATB soli, SATB chorus, harmonium and two pianos.

Italian and English. Critical Edition, edited by Corghi.

for SATB soloists, SATB chorus, 2 pianos, and harmonium This is the best known of Rossini's Peches de vieillesse or 'Sins of Old Age'. Although a sacred work, the mass is characteristically lyrical and effervescent, and it affirms the composer's optimistic and deeply felt faith. The work was premiered in 1864. Although Rossini also produced an orchestrated version of the work in 1867, it is reported that he preferred the original scoring, and indeed much of the work's appeal lies in the idiomatic keyboard parts. This edition is based on the autograph manuscript of this original 1864 version, and every effort has been made to honour Rossini's intentions and produce a performing score that is authentic, accurate, and practical. The performing score is available on hire/rental and on sale, and parts for piano and harmonium are available on hire/rental.
