Live performance by Artis Wodehouse 10/11/12 of the Preludio Religioso (Offertory) of Rossini's 1864 Petite Messe Solennelle on her 1902 Mustel Art Harmonium. The concert was held at St. Peter's Church in NYC and sponsored by Gotham Early Music Scene. The Mustel Art Harmonium is dated 1902 and was completely restored by Louis Huivenaar of the Netherlands.

Gioachino Rossini's Petite messe solennelle was written in 1863 and described by the composer as "the last of my péchés de vieillesse" (sins of old age).
The witty composer, who produced little for public hearing during his long retirement at Passy, prefaced his mass—characterized, apocryphally by Napoleon III, as neither little nor solemn, nor particularly liturgical—with the words:
"Good God—behold completed this poor little Mass—is it indeed sacred music [la musique sacrée] that I have just written, or merely some damned music [la sacré musique]? You know well, I was born for comic opera. Little science, a little heart, that is all. So may you be blessed, and grant me Paradise!"
