Messa di Gloria (Puccini)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giacomo Puccini's Messa or Messa a quattro voci (now known as Messa di Gloria ) is a mass for orchestra and choir ( SATB ) as well as solo tenor and baritone. The multi-movement work is a complete setting of the Ordinary of the Mass , comprising the following parts: Kyrie , Gloria , Credo , Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei .

Work history

Puccini came from a family of church musicians and composed the Messa as the final project of his studies at the Istituto Musicale Pacini . The premiere took place in Lucca on July 12, 1880. The Credo was written in 1878 and was originally conceived by Puccini as an independent work. The full manuscript of the Messa was never published by Puccini, and although the work was successful when it premiered, it was not heard again until 1952. There was a first performance again in Chicago and then in Naples. However, Puccini used material from the Messa in other contexts. The music of Agnus Dei was used in his opera Manon Lescaut and the Kyrie in Edgar .

At the end of the Second World War, Dante Del Fiorentino acquired an old copy of the manuscript from the Vandini family in Lucca, which he believed to be the original. The original manuscript itself belongs to the Puccini family and his daughter gave it to Ricordi , Puccini's publisher. A rights dispute broke out, which was eventually resolved by the division of rights between Ricordi and Mills Musik, the publisher of the Fiorentino script.
