TITLE DETAILS

Title Mascagni: Easter Hymn (from Cavalleria Rusticana) for Choir SSATTB and Piano

Artist Pietro Mascagni

Composer Pietro Mascagni

Arranger Flavio Regis Cunha

Description

Mascagni’s draws on church music in this masterful and intense evocation of a small community and one guilt-ridden woman’s position outside of it.The grand Easter Hymn, scored for pretty much the whole cast of the opera, starts with just a solo organ playing from inside the church nearby. Then we hear an unaccompanied choir singing (in Latin) the beginning of the service – ‘Regina coeli, laetare’ – with the voices of the congregation responding ‘Alleluja!’. The choir sings two more phrases and the congregation responds. All this is out of sight.
