Rossini: Petite Messe Solennelle

Add to my Calendar 08-03-2025 19:30 08-03-2025 21:30 36 Rossini: Petite Messe Solennelle Rossini’s “Petite Messe Solennelle” (“Little Solemn Mass”) is famously neither little nor solemn. The composer brings all his operatic talents to bear in a work that is joyously exuberant and dramatic. Writing later in his life, Rossini took the opportunity to please himself and paid little attention to conventional approaches to sacred composition. The mass is written for choir, soloists, piano and harmonium. In FCC’s performance, the soloists are all regular choir members.   Trinity Church Centre, London DD/MM/YYYY
