The critical edition includes anapparatus that records all the variants between the autograph score and the secondary collate sources, and a diplomatic- interpretative edition of the poetic text, inferred – since no libretto has come down to us – by the words underlaid to the notesin the manuscript of the serenata.

Vivaldi's Kyrie RV 587 (BA 8950) is scored for two choirs and two groups of stringed instruments. The date of its composition remains unclear. It is a purely a Choral work without solo passages.Today the ?Gloria? RV 589 (BA 7674) is one of Vivaldi?s best-known compositions and one of the most frequently performed sacred Vocal works from the Baroque period. Vivaldi wrote the ?Gloria? as a self-contained work in the style of a concertante mass. However it was probably also performed within church services. The scoring of the solo voices (SSA) suggests that the work was written during his period atthe Ospedale della Piet around 1716. In the twelve movements of the ?Gloria? Vivaldi displays the whole range of his mastery from festive sublime outer movements to tender transparently scored solo passages.Both works can be performed independently but can also be combined as a kind of short mass. Although the authenticity of the autograph manuscript score is beyond doubt these new editions contain some re-evaluations in phrasing and performance practice which go beyond what other editions have to offer. The Piano reductions are straightforward clearly presented and preserve the character of the works.- Attractive choral pieces which can be combined to form a short mass.- Informative foreword (Ger/Eng).

Piano Reduction. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Das „Gloria' RV 589 (BA 7674) ist heute eine der bekanntesten Kompositionen Vivaldis und eines der am häufigsten aufgeführten geistlichen Vokalwerke aus dem Barock. Vivaldi schrieb das „Gloria' als eigenständiges Werk - in der Art einer konzertanten Messe. Es wurde aber wohl auch im Rahmen des Gottesdienstes aufgeführt. Die Besetzung der Solisten (SSA)legt die Vermutung nahe, dass das Werk während seiner Zeit am Ospedale della Pietà entstanden ist, etwa um 1716. In den zwölf Teilen des „Gloria' zeigt Vivaldi die ganze Bandbreite seiner Meisterschaft zwischen festlichen, erhabenen Ecksätzen und zarten, durchsichtig instrumentierten Solopassagen. Ähnliches lässt sich auch über das für zwei Chöre und zwei Streichergruppen geschriebene „Kyrie' RV 587 (BA 8950) sagen, dessen Entstehungszeit nicht endgültig geklärt ist. Es ist ein reines Chorwerk ohne Solopassagen. Beide Stücke können für sich allein stehen, sie lassen sich aber auch gemeinsam als eine Art Kurzmesse kombinieren. Obwohl die Quellenlage für beide Werke durch das maßgebliche Autograph eindeutig ist, kommen die vorliegenden Editionen doch zu einigen Neubewertungen im Bereich von Phrasierung und Aufführungspraxis, die über bestehende Ausgaben hinausgehen. Die Klavierauszüge vom Herausgeber Malcolm Bruno sind leicht spielbar und bewahren den Charakter der Werke. - Zweisprachige Vorworte(dt./engl.) - Beide Stücke als Kurzmesse kombinierbar - Chorpartitur zum „Gloria' Die hervorragend aufbereitete und unschlagbar günstige Urtext-Ausgabe wird ihren Teil zur weiteren Verbreitung beider Werke beitragen.'

Few baroque composers were ever able to create work as sunny as joyous as Vivaldi did in this beloved Gloria. The contrast of mood throughout the work as it moves through the drama of the Mass to its satisfying double final movement shows the composer at the height of his powers.Vivaldi composed this work in Venice in about 1715 during his fruitful time at the Ospedale della Piet . In his lifetime this priest composer and virtuoso Violinist achieved enormous musical success. Considering his great popularity in the modern era it is difficult to believe that public appreciation of his work declined after his death and that the Gloria languished undiscovered forcenturies. It wasn’t until 1957 that the restored work was heard again in its entirety. Since that time this moving and joyous Gloria has been recorded more than one hundred times and perennially appears on concert series around the world.
