Written separately during the last decades of the composer's life and with different origins and purposes, they were nevertheless published together in 1898 by Casa Ricordi. They are often performed as a cycle, not in chronological sequence of their composition, but in the sequence used in the Ricordi publication: *''Ave Maria'', a setting of the Latin "Ave Maria" for four solo voices a cappella composed in 1889 *''Stabat Mater'', a setting of the Latin "Stabat Mater" for chorus and orchestra composed in 1896 and 1897 *''Laudi alla Vergine Maria'', a setting of a prayer in Canto XXXIII of Dante's ''Paradiso'' for four female voices a cappella composed between 1886 and 1888 *''Te Deum'', a setting of the Latin "Te Deum" for double chorus and orchestra composed in 1895 and 1896. They were first performed together (without the ''Ave Maria'') in a concert by the Paris Opera on April 7, 1898. == History == After Verdi finished his opera ''Aida'' and in 1874 the Messa da Requiem, he retired from composing for years, writing only minor sacred compositions such as a ''Pater Noster'' and an ''Ave Maria'' in 1880. The earliest of the ''Quattro pezzi sacri'' in terms of its composition date is what came to be known as ''Laudi alla Vergine Maria'' (although Verdi himself did not give it that title). It was composed between 1886 and 1888, during which time he was also working on his penultimate opera, ''Otello'', which premiered in 1887. The second of the ''Pezzi'' to be composed was the ''Ave Maria'', whose setting is built on an enigmatic scale. He originally composed it in 1889 and revised it for publication in 1897. The ''Te Deum'' was begun in 1895 two years after the premiere of his last opera, ''Falstaff''. It was finished in the summer of 1896. The ''Stabat Mater'' followed, and all four pieces were sent to Verdi's publisher, Casa Ricordi, in June 1897. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quattro pezzi sacri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
