Little solemn mass

Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) dedicated the last years of his life to a work in which he once again demonstrated all his skills, the "Petite Messe Solennelle". His almost inexhaustible wealth of melodies is linked with a mastery of the church music style, which is reminiscent of great predecessors. It was no coincidence that Rossini had subscribed to the complete edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's works since 1851.
On the title page of his handwritten copy of the “Petite Mass” Rossini explains in a strange way the number of singers required: “[...] eight for the choir, four for the solos, a total of 12 cherubins. Dear God, forgive me the following connection: 12 there are also the apostles in the famous 'feeding scene', painted in the fresco by Leonardo, which is called 'The Last Supper'. ”That Rossini at the Eucharist, the core of every mass , thinks of an act of feasting with an almost baroque sense of humor is no coincidence, since from 1829, after the last opera he composed, "Guillaume Tell", he turned completely to the art of cooking. A venereal disease had forced him to give up the operatic trade and instead of the women he had previously paid homage to, to indulge in other carnal pleasures. Zampone di Modena (stuffed pig's feet), which he had sent from Italy to Paris, took him prisoner from then on. Heaven on earth was obviously a land of milk and honey for the connoisseur Rossini.
