Rossini is best known for his comic opera, including 'The Barber of Seville' and 'Otello'. However, late in his life after a thirty year break from composing, he created a series of delightful salon pieces that he called 'Péchés de vieillesse' - 'Sins of Old Age' and two sacred works. Composed with characteristic wit and refinement, he referred to his final work 'La Petite Messe Solenelle' as his 'last mortal sin'! Faire Is the Heaven - Sir William H. Harris A 20th century motet for double choir. Words by Edmund Spenser, from "An Hymne of Heavenly Beautie", 1596. |
