An intermezzo is an instrumental movement between the acts of an opera, although it’s not unknown for a composer to use the title for a free-standing piece. Mascagni’s Intermezzo from the opera Cavalleria rusticana is certainly one of the most well-known examples. The opera was premiered in 1890 in Rome. Initially I was unconvinced that Mascagni’s Intermezzo would make a suitable piece for guitar ensemble, however I soon found that not only was it effective it could remain in the original key. Unsurprisingly there are already numerous arrangements of the piece including those for piano, piano (four hands), piano and violin, and organ. I consulted many editions before settling on the version for five guitars presented here.
Un intermezzo est un mouvement instrumental entre les actes d’un opéra, bien qu’il ne soit pas rare qu’un compositeur utilise ce titre pour une pièce indépendante. L’Intermezzo de Mascagni, tiré de l’opéra « Cavalleria rusticana », en est certainement l’un des exemples les plus connus. L’opéra fut créé en 1890 à Rome. Au départ, je doutais que l’Intermezzo de Mascagni puisse convenir à un ensemble de guitares, mais j’ai vite constaté qu’il était non seulement efficace, mais qu’il pouvait également rester dans la tonalité originale. Sans surprise, il existe déjà de nombreux arrangements de la pièce, notamment pour piano, piano (à quatre mains), piano et violon, et orgue. J’ai consulté de nombreuses éditions avant de retenir la version pour cinq guitares présentée ici.
