Rossinis Petite Messe Solennelle – Romsey Choral Society

Rossini: Petite Messe Solennelle

The Petite Messe Solennelle was Rossini’s fourth mass setting, written in 1863. The charming and jovial music is thought to have been inspired by deep personal feelings. Famously, Rossini referred to it as 'the last of my sins of old age': although the work is entitled 'Little solemn mass', it is neither little nor solemn, exuberantly written for choir, four soloists, piano and harmonium.
