Product description

Great opera in only 10 minutes! An impressive early work by Puccini is finally available as sheet music: The composer wrote the cantata I figli d’Italia bella in 1877 for a competition held by the province of Lucca. The text is a paean to Italy’s brilliant artistic tradition, remembered through the country’s great artists. The cantata has a rather eventful history: Considered lost for many years, a set of parts turned up about 20 years ago in which, however, the vocal solo was missing. Subsequently, the cantata was only performed with a reconstructed solo part. Then in 2019, an anonymous and previously unattributed manuscript was identified as an autograph of Puccini. It became clear that this was the missing complete score! Now we can hear how the composer captured the text in thrilling style with solo tenor, choir and large orchestra to create a vibrant work brimming with youthful sparkle and energy.

The cantata perfectly complements Puccini’s Messa di Gloria (Carus 56.001), another early work by the composer that here and there shows some operatic tendencies. The cantata will also appear in Volume III/1 (Compositions for voices and instruments) of the Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini.

Große Oper in knapp 10 Minuten! Ein beeindruckendes Frühwerk Puccinis liegt nun endlich und zum ersten Mal als Notenausgabe vor: Die Kantate I figli d’Italia bella schrieb Puccini 1877 für einen Kompositionswettbewerb der Provinz Lucca. Der Text preist die Künste, indem an die großen Künstlerpersönlichkeiten Italiens erinnert wird. Die Geschichte des Werkes nahm einen recht abenteuerlichen Verlauf: Es galt lange Zeit als verschollen, bis vor etwa 20 Jahren ein Stimmensatz auftauchte, in dem jedoch das Gesangssolo fehlte. Seitdem war die Kantate nur mit einer rekonstruierten Solostimme bekannt. Doch 2019 konnte dann eine anonyme Partiturhandschrift, die sich bis dahin nicht zuordnen ließ, als Autograph Puccinis identifiziert werden. Es wurde klar, dass es sich um das vermisste Werk in vollständiger Besetzung handelt! Mitreißend, voller Esprit, Schwung und jugendlicher Frische fasst Puccini unter Aufbietung von Solotenor, Chor und großbesetztem Orchester den Text in Töne.

Die Kantate eignet sich z.B. als Ergänzungswerk zu Puccinis Messa di Gloria (Carus 56.001), ebenfalls ein Frühwerk des Komponisten mit stellenweise opernhaften Zügen. Die Kantate wird auch in Band III/1 (Kompositionen für Singstimmen und Instrumente) der Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini erscheinen.
