CASTA DIVA

As the quintessential composer of the Italian bel canto era of the early 19th century Bellini (1801-35) was particularly known for his long-flowing melodic lines and much admired by his contemporaries, including Verdi, Wagner, Chopin, and Liszt. His most famous opera, Norma, was written in 1831. 'Casta Diva' (Chaste Goddess) is sung by Norma the high priestess and is essentially a prayer to the moon goddess begging for peace. It is one of the most beautiful arias in all operatic literature. In this arrangement for wind quintet and piano the piano provides a gentle accompaniment to the five solo wind lines.
