La regata Veneziana (3) is a vocal quartet composed by Gioachino Rossini, which is a part of his collection of piano pieces called Péchés de vieillesse, book 1. The piece was composed in 1857, and it premiered in Paris in the same year. The piece consists of three movements, each of which is a vocal quartet. The first movement, "Anzoleta avanti la regata," is a lively and energetic piece that captures the excitement and anticipation of the Venetian regatta. The second movement, "Anzoleta co passa la regata," is a more subdued and reflective piece that captures the melancholy of the losing boats. The final movement, "Anzoleta dopo la regata," is a celebratory piece that captures the joy and triumph of the winning boat. The vocal quartet is characterized by its use of traditional Venetian folk melodies, which Rossini incorporates into his own unique style. The piece is also characterized by its use of complex harmonies and rhythms, which give the piece a sense of depth and complexity. Overall, La regata Veneziana (3) is a beautiful and engaging piece of music that captures the spirit and energy of the Venetian regatta. It is a testament to Rossini's skill as a composer and his ability to capture the essence of a place and time through his music.
