Lost and Found Puccini’s Messa di Gloria copy score Puccini composed Messa a quattro voci as his graduation exercise. First performed July 12th 1880 he never published the full manuscript and, although well received, it was not performed again in Puccini’s lifetime. In the early 1950s, Fr. Dante del Fiorentino visited Lucca to gather material for a new Puccini biography. He acquired various letters and documents including the copy score of the mass. On returning to America he arranged for it to be published as Messa di Gloria. Performances and recordings followed but by 2003, Dieter Schickling, a Puccini authority noted that the copy score was by then untraceable and described as ‘missing’.Earlier this year the score reappeared and forms a central part of the exhibition celebrating the 150th anniversary of Puccini’s birth at the Barbican Music Library. |
