Mezzo - Judy Louie Brown,

and accompanied by Elspeth Wilkes - piano , and Peter Jaekel - harmonium

for our performance of Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle at the Barnes Music Festival.

"Dear God. Here it is, finished, this poor little Mass. Have I written sacred music or damned music?" Rossini's own words at the end of the autograph score perfectly sum up this most extraordinary of mass settings. Neither little, solemn nor especially liturgical in spirit, the music ranges from hushed intensity to boisterous high spirits, and abounds in the memorable tunes and rhythmic vitality for which Rossini became justly famous.
