Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle
Coventry Cathedral Chorus
Rossini blends sacred tones seamlessly with allusions to his comic operas in a highly enjoyable mass that includes elements reminiscent of Bach, Haydn and Mozart. The resulting mass led him to ask himself “Is this sacred music which I have written or music of the devil?” Listen and decide for yourself in this evening of beautiful musical inspiration and reflection. Saturday 9 November, Coventry Cathedral.
