Certain structural characteristics of the Petite Messe Solennelle become more evident in a strictly chamber performance with 12 singers - 12 (between chorus and soloists), as Rossini imagined with ironic symbolism (the twelve apostles), perhaps tied to the instrumental trinity in which the Father is undoubtedly the premier piano and the Holy Ghost accompanied by the (humble but insinuating) sound of the harmonium.
The global architecture created from the individual parts is, in fact, a truly masterful aspect of the Petite Messe. Not only are the Kyrie and Agnus Dei constructed according to a single design (a solution favoured by the structure of the text); the Gloria and Credo are also founded on vast cyclical patterns (assisted by a theatrically episodic return to the first words of the text), though the former opportunely highlights the various solo numbers.
