Paolino and Donato<\/strong> was the parish church of the Puccini family which lived nearby. For this reason, the archives contain important documentation, which also covers the Puccini family: the so-called states of souls<\/em> <\/strong>\u2013 compiled by the pastors of the time in Lent every year when blessing the houses \u2013 systematically record family situations, including temporary absences of any family member; The Books of the Dead<\/em> provide the dates of the various deaths, and often information on the place of burial.<\/p>\n

t can be said that in this church Giacomo Puccini had his baptism as a composer: on 12 July, 1877,<\/strong>the feast of S. Paolino<\/strong>, in a church-service largely played by the students of theIstituto Musicale \u201cG. Pacini\u201d,<\/strong>his Mottetto for baritone<\/em> , chorus for 4 voices and orchestra was performed.<\/p>\n

The Mottetto<\/em> was clearly very much appreciated, as it was repeated the following year along with a new creed<\/em>, which was also very much appreciated.<\/p>\n

On 12 July, 1880 the performance of a \u201cgreat service\u201d \u2013 the Mass for 4 voices<\/em> with orchestra<\/em>, and the aforementioned Mottetto<\/em> inserted after the Credo<\/em>\u2013 ratified the completion of his studies at the local Institute of Music.<\/p>\n

The citizens of Lucca had the confirmation that Puccini, heir of a glorious family, could become a composer such \u201cas to be pointed out as one of the best of his contemporaries<\/strong>\u201d. In fact, the Mass<\/em> is his first masterpiece, and was well etched in the memory of the composer, who repeatedly drew from it, even for his more important theatrical works: see the Agnus Dei<\/em> which becomes the Madrigal<\/em> in Act II of Manon Lescaut<\/em>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”download-app”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1679416385606{background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1680077818960{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”altri-luoghi-lucca”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
