"Giovanna d’Arco, the most dramatic of [Bossi's] choral works, suggests that he had more sense of the theatre than his operas revealed ... With Martucci and Sgambati, Bossi led the revival of Italian non-operatic music at the turn of the century, and, like them, he turned to northern Europe for the main sources of his style ..."
