Messa a 4 voci con orchestra (Messa di Gloria) Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini, III/2 from 304,00 €

Puccini composed his Messa a 4 voci con orchestra in 1878–1880. The musical quality, the energy, and the freshness of this youthful work led the composer to quote from his Mass in later operas, ensuring an ever-growing popularity for the work after its rediscovery in 1952.

The scholarly-critical edition of Puccini's only mass is the first volume of the "Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini". The "Edizione" has been published by the international research institute "Centro Studi Giacomo Puccini" since 2013.

An examination of the autograph score has led to numerous corrections being made in the "Edizione Nazionale" compared with the old-established music text of this work. As well as this, Puccini’s orchestral amendments in the Benedictus and his new arrangement of the tenor aria "Gratias agimus" from the Gloria, both dating from 1893, have been taken into consideration.

Thanks to an arrangement by J. Linckelmann (Carus 56.001/50), it is possible to perform the work in smaller settings.

The Messa a 4 voci was composed by the 22-year-old Giacomo Puccini at the end of his schooldays, and revised about 15 years later. Even in this early work, the subtlety of writing found in Puccini’s later operas is clear, works in which he re-used some themes from the mass. The Messa a 4 voci sparkles with vitality, and even this youthful, dynamic, but demanding work requires a thorough knowledge of the piece by the choral singers.

The Carus Choir Coach offers choir singers the unique opportunity to study and learn their own, individual choral parts within the context of the sound of the entire choir and orchestra. For every vocal range a separate Audio CD or MP3 and download containing each choir part is available. The Carus Choir Coach is based on recorded interpretations by renowned artists who have performed the work from carefully prepared Carus Urtext editions. Each choir part is presented in three different versions:

Original recording
Coach: each part is accompanied by the piano, with the original recording sounding in the background
Coach in slow mode: the tempo of the coach slows down to 70% of the original version – through this reduction passages can be learned more effectively.

Epistolario I, 1877-1896 Edizione Nazionale Delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini 72,00 €

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 11:58:46 +0200

The first volume contains 784 letters, 150 of which are published for the first time. The majority of the others have been newly transcribed, corrected through comparison with their sources, or with improved dating in the frequent cases of undated autographs. The collection conveys an image of twenty years in the life and career of Giacomo Puccini marked by radical changes. It documents the interlaced relationships with his friends and family, the ambition and difficulties he endured to sustain them, his brave existential choices. On the professional side, it illustrates the final part of his studies and his artistic growth, from Le Villi, to Edgar, to the first undisputed success of Manon Lescaut, to the final consecration of La Bohème. The letters included in this volume are also documents of the creation of Puccini’s peculiar writing qualities. The variety of addressees and of themes is matched, in fact, by a variety of tones and styles. Tender, friendly, confidential tones alternate with formal, professional, deferential, or even soapy accents. The letters mix everyday chronicles, common requests, scholarly quotes, bawdy language, and invectives. A penchant for poetry appears in the recurring rhymes that peep out in his prose, transforming the letters in poems, especially as a reply to other poetical messages. A strong graphic inspiration shines through his habit of using pictures instead of some key words, and through his original use of the space of sheets and postcards. Published by Olschki, Florence

890 letters (of which more than 370 are published for the first time) allow us to follow Puccini's life over a period of three years. These were difficult years in which the composer experienced a serious car accident, the end of his relationship with his lover Corinna and the failure of Madame Butterfly at its premiere at La Scala. After the prompt withdrawal of the score of the failed opera and the cancellation of the planned Roman premiere, the arduous search for themes for a new opera began. The style remains varied and worth reading.

Giacomo Puccini Biografie from 32,00 €

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:34:12 +0200

Giacomo Puccini zählt zu den meistgespielten Komponisten des internationalen Musiktheaters. Manon Lescaut, La Bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly und Turandot sind fester Bestandteil der Opernspielpläne. In einer politisch umwälzenden Epoche gelang es Puccini, an der Schnittstelle zwischen Tradition und Moderne urmenschliche Konflikte auf die Bühne zu bringen – jenseits aller Sentimentalität und Vordergründigkeit fand er dafür eine Musiksprache, die bis heute ergreift und zur intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit Puccinis Werk verführt.

Die Biografie, die auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung basiert, widmet sich gleichermaßen Puccinis Leben wie seinem Werk. Deutlich wird, wie Puccini um die musikalische Umsetzung des unmittelbaren Ausdrucks von Emotionen gerungen hat, ausgehend von der Suche nach dem geeigneten Stoff und der passenden Librettosprache über sein Interesse an der Zeitstruktur der Bühnenhandlung bis zum Einsatz verschiedenster, teilweise völlig neuer Kompositionstechniken. Sein in der Musik spürbares Temperament korrespondiert mit seiner Lebensweise, seinen intensiven Beziehungen zu Frauen, seiner Leidenschaft für die Jagd, für Autos und Motorboote. Eine faszinierende Persönlichkeit des Musiktheaters.

Puccini’s Cappriccio Sinfonico was published in the version for piano four hands in March 1884 by Lucca, the renowned publisher from Milan. Thus this work, highly acclaimed by contemporary critics, can also be performed at home, without orchestra. This is actually the second work of the young composer ever to be published. He fully devoted himself to this work and thus the chamber version can be considered authentic, and deserves, in its own right, the attention and performance by piano duos.
