Come and Sing: Rossini Petite Messe Solennelle
All singers are invited to ‘Come & Sing’ Rossini’s ‘Petite Messe Solennelle’ in the beautiful acoustics of Epsom’s largest historic building, St Martin’ Church.
Famed for his output of operas – 39 all told - Gioachino Rossini also penned a handful of works for the church. The most well-known and his last major composition was his Petite Messe Solennelle. Whilst Rossini uses traditional texts of the requiem mass, the music doesn’t stray far from the sound-world of his operas.
Following Rossini’s original scoring, piano duo David Nettle and Richard Markham will be providing the accompaniment. Richard Dacey will be directing the day.
