Mascagni's 1890 masterpiece, Cavalleria Rusticana, caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and singlehandedly ushered in the Verismo movement. Though it has been stated and restated ad nauseam that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, this is highly inaccurate: L'Amico Fritz and Iris have been popular in Europe since their respective premieres; in fact, Mascagni himself claimed that at one point Iris was performed in Italy more often than Cavalleria (cf. Stivender).
Mascagni wrote a total of fifteen operas, plus an operetta, several beautiful orchestral and vocal works, as well as songs and piano music. He enjoyed amazing success during his lifetime, both as a composer and conductor. If he never repeated the public success of Cavalleria, it was probably because Mascagni refused to copy himself. The variety of styles in Mascagni's operas -- the Sicilian passion and warmth of Cavalleria, the Asian flavor of Iris, the idyllic breeze that ventilates L'Amico Fritz, the French hues in Isabeau, the steely, Verismo quality of Il Piccolo Marat -- demonstrate a versatility that none of the other Veristi could boast, Puccini included.

Musica, che vivo SCINTILLANTE
per tutti i colori, i profumi,
e le vite di cui erano affollate le strade siciliane
fino a poco oltre la metà del secolo scorso,
e che io, bambino, ho fatto in tempo a "respirare"!
La Storia nel suo moto incessante, contradditorio,
non si ferma,
ma questa grandissima OPERA ed il suo AUTORE non moriranno mai!
Fernando cordeiro
Gli aranci olezzano
sui verdi margini,
cantan le allodole
tra i mirti in fior;
gli aranci olezzano
sui verdi margini,
cantan le allodole
tra i mirti in fior;
tempo è si mormori
da ognuno il tenero
canto che i palpiti
raddoppia al cor.

Gli aranci olezzano sui verdi margini,
cantan le allodole tra i mirti in fior;
tempo è si mormori da ognuno il tenero
canto che i palpiti raddoppia al cor
UOMINI
In mezzo al campo tra le spiche d'oro
giunge il rumore delle vostre spole;
noi stanchi riposando dal lavoro
a voi pensiamo, o belle occhi-di-sole.
O belle occhi-di-sole, a voi corriamo,
come vola l'augello al suo richiamo
Valeria Cenerelli
Gli aranci olezzano
Sui verdi margini,
Cantan le allodole
Tra i mirti in fior;
Tempo è si mormori
Da ognuno il tenero
Canto che i palpiti
Raddoppia al cor.
In mezzo al campo
Tra le spiche d’oro
Giunge il rumor
Delle vostre spole,
Noi stanchi
Riposando dal lavoro
A voi pensiam,
O belle occhi-di-sole.
A voi corriamo
Come vola l’augello
Al suo richiamo.

Grazie ,Mascagni !

The music of Cavalleria Rusticana is of the most beautiful ever written, especially its choruses. I always find this opera much too short. I always want more of Mascagni’s music ! Thank you for posting.

Grazie a questa splendida musica arrivano anche a Roma i profumi,i colori ,gli splendori di quella meravigliosa Terra che non sara mai mia( per qualche istante l'incanto durò e poi all'improvviso svanì)Il destino volle così.Ora ammiro le rare antiche bellezze di Roma e l'adorato Arco di COSTANTINO ❤️
