GIACOMO PUCCINI

Selected Organ Works

First edition

It has only recently become known that as a young composer Giacomo Puccini composed a large number of organ works. A selection of twelve pieces from this repertoire is pub-lished here for the first time. This invites the discovery of a previously-unknown facet in the work of this composer, known above all for his operas.

Presentation at the AGO National Convention

Kansas City, Missouri, USACrown Center Sheraton Hotel, VAN HORN, Wednesday, July 4, 10:30 – 11:15am Presented by Professors Virgilio Bernardoni, Gabriella Biagi Ravenni, and Phillip Kloeckner

Puccini came from an old Lucca dynasty of church musicians and was destined to follow in this pro-fession. He learned to play the organ from an early age, and the organ was the instrument with which he made his first public appearances. By writing organ pieces for his own use, he learned the art of composing.

The pieces belong to the popular genre of contem-porary Italian organ repertoire and conform with the liturgical requirements of the four-part organ mass; after the dismissal, rousing marches were often heard.

Sonate, Versetti, MarceSelezione dall’opera per organo

Ausgewählte Orgelwerke/Selected Organ Works

Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini

PUCCINIGiacomo

C

Il ritrovamento dei manoscritti delle Sonate per organo consente finalmente di conoscere la parte più cospicua delle prime attività musicali di Giacomo Puccini a Lucca, finora oggetto soltanto di narrazioni aneddotiche. Di questo segmento del catalogo del musicista la presente edizione propone una selezione di 12 pezzi che anticipa l’edizione critica integrale in preparazione in un volume dell’Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini (ENOGP, II/2.1).

Mit der Wiederentdeckung der Manuskripte der Orgelsonaten wurde es endlich möglich, den bedeutendsten Teil der frühen Kompositionen von Giacomo Puccini in Lucca kennenzulernen, war dieser bis jetzt nur das Thema anekdotischer Erzählungen. Die vorliegende Auswahlausgabe bietet mit 12 Stücken einen Einblick in diesen Abschnitt von Puccinis Werk, der in kritischer Gesamtedition in einem Band der Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini (ENOGP, II/2.1) erscheinen wird.

Now that the manuscripts of the Organ Sonatas have resurfaced, it has finally become possible to form an acquaintance with the major part of Giacomo Puccini’s early compositions in Lucca, which until now were known only from anecdotes. The present selection with 12 works sheds light on this segment of his oeuvre, scheduled to appear in a complete single-volume scholarly edition in the Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini (ENOGP, II/2.1).

The sonatas offer a glimpse into organ playing in Lucca (and Italy in general) at a time when taste in church music was turning away from the largely operatic style of the mid-19th century toward a music more appropriate to the liturgy.

Puccini’s organ works reveal traces of the declining secular style in their widespread use of sharply rhythmic and flexible melodies influenced by wind bands, march rhythms and dance music. They also tend to adopt a devotional stance appropriate to their pur-pose, whether through melodious part-writing, short quasi-impro-vised preluding or an eloquent cadencing progression. A selection of twelve pieces from the recently discovered repertoire is published here for the first time.

The works of Giacomo Puccini will be presented in a scholarly critical edition. Upon petition to the Italian Ministry of Culture by the “Centro Studi Giacomo Puccini,” the institute respon-sible for this edition, the project has been recognized as an “Edizione Nazionale.” It receives a significant amount of its support from the Ministry.
