The ?Gloria? RV 589 is one of Vivaldi?s most popular compositions today and one of the most regularly performed sacred vocal works from the Baroque era. The work was in all probability composed around 1716 during Vivaldi?s time at the Ospedale della Piet an orphanage for girls in Venice.Although Vivaldi?s ?Gloria? (BA 8953) was written for solo voices and mixed choir it is likely that it was performed at the girls? orphanage with female voices only. Taking this into account Malcolm Bruno?s careful arrangement for choir SSAA is of some relevance. The work when set for female voices or children?s choir remains a true masterpiece.The?Kyrie? RV 587 (BA 8954)for two choirs and two string ensembles as arranged here for female choir displays its own charm. It can be performed together with the Gloria as a type of short mass.Both arrangements are based on the recently published Urtext editions of these works. The piano reductions by editor Malcolm Bruno are easy to play and preserve the character of the works.- Effective arrangements for female choir- Forewords in English and German- Straightforward idiomatic piano reductions- Kyrie and Gloria can be combined for performanceThe orchestral parts for the original SATB version can be used for the performance of these arrangements.

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 at the Ospedale della Pietà around 1716. In the twelve movements of the “Gloria” Vivaldi displays the whole range of his mastery from festive sublime outer movements totender transparently scored solo passages. The same mastery has also been applied to the “ Kyrie” RV 587 (BA 8950) 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. 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. - Vocal score as well as choral score available for the “Gloria”. - Informative foreword (Ger/Eng).

Beatus Vir. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Mit 'Dixit Dominus' [Ps 109 [110]] und 'Beatus vir' [Ps 111 [112]] liegen zwei der bedeutendsten doppelchörigen Kirchenkompositionen Vivaldis in kritischen Neuausgaben vor. Mit der vokal-instrumentalen Satzart 'in due Cori' knüpft Vivaldi an die alte venezianische [für ihn also heimatliche] Tradition festlich-mehrchörigen Musizierens an, deren Techniken der freilich mit solchen aus Konzert, Kantate und Oper verknüft und anreichert. Einem Brauch der Zeit folgend, ist dem 'Dixit' eine 'Introduzione al Dixit' vorangestellt: ein Prolog in Form einer dreisätzigen lateinischen Solokantate, deren lobpreisender Text mit der Aufforderung 'Ergo cantate Dixit' ['Darum singt nun das Dixit']zur eigentlichen Psalmkomposition überleitet. Da dieses Solo für Sopran, Streicher und Basso continuo auch eigenständig musiziert werden kann, ist es als CV 40. 006 separat veröffentlicht. / Psaumes / Date parution : 2000-05-01/ Répertoire / Solistes SSATBB, Choeur SATB/SATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 O

Confitebor. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. This composition offers an extensive palette of the baroque master's musical ideas and modes of expression. The piece owes ist attractiveness principally to ist characteristically Vivaldian transparency and formal perfection, and to the way in which the voices are allowed to blossom within clearly fashioned structures, while all the tonal possibilities of the small orchestral ensemble are fully exploited. / Date parution : 1990-04-01/ Répertoire / Solistes ATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 Violons, Alto et Basse

Klavierauszug-Antonio Vivaldi's Magnificat in G minor for SATB and Piano.The office as a priest and the long years as musical director of the Ospedale della Piet (a large orphonage in Venice) both occasioned and inspired him to compose church music in large variety. The Magnificat RV 160 has come down to us in two versions. The first version is dominated by the choral concept in the second version the texts of Et exultavit Quia respexit Quia fecit Esurientes and Sicut locutus est are each given new and extended solo arias that as the manuscripts reveals were tailored to voices of girls from the Ospedale who are mentioned by name in the autograph.
