Vocal score of Vivaldi's Gloria for soprano and alto soloists SATB choir and orchestra. Edited by Jasmin Cameron. A well-established piece in the modern choral repertoire Vivaldi's Gloria was like much of his music ignored from his death until relatively recently.

Vivaldi's international renown came about largely as a result of his concertos which were collated and of course performed throughout the courts of Europe. Quite unlike the concertos Vivaldi's voluminous output of sacred works was hardly known beyond the purlieus of their original performance. Following the composer's death they became increasingly unknown and even today it is difficult to say how many pieces of church music Vivaldi composed.As few of Vivaldi’s church compositions can be dated on the basis of written or stylistic evidence the origins of the Gloria In D remain shrouded with conjecture.Rather than being conceived aspart of a larger Mass setting the Gloria is an independent work a cyclical composition of broad design consisting of twelve self-contained movements. Stylistically it closely resembles a concertante Mass.This Urtext edition of Vivaldi’s ever-popular work provides you with an accurate realisation of the composer’s original intentions with thoroughly detailed editorial markings and suggestions as edited by Klaus Burmeister.

Antonio Vivaldi probably composed his famous Gloria in 1725. Although the exact circumstances of its origin remain a riddle it was definitely conceived as a self-contained concert piece rather than as part of a complete setting of the Mass.The compositional fabric the festive character of the outside movements and the predominance of the strings in the middle movements make this masterpiece of Venetian sacred music a natural choice for an arrangement for solo voices choir and organ. Rather than imitating the orchestral writing Martin Focke?s arrangement offers a self-contained version tailor-made for this combination of instruments thereby making a pinnacleof European church music accessible to the often more modest resources of today?s churches.Standard work of the oratorio repertoireSelf-contained version for solo voices (SSA) choir (SATB) and organHighly supportive easy-to-play organ partIdeal for use in church servicesDuration: c. 30 mins.The Bärenreiter Choir & Organ Series presents great choral works in arrangements for soloists choir and organ; no orchestra is needed.The original orchestral parts have been transcribed into easy-to-play organ reductions whereby the contemporary tradition of such arrangements has been taken into consideration. In some cases the original organ versions by the composer were used. The organ parts are presented on three staves. The choir and solo parts always remain true to the original. You need only one edition for soloists singers and organist alike.

Ed. critica di Alessandro Borin - ril. brochure-La Gloria E Imeneo RV 687 belongs to a group of so-called ‘French serenatas’ by Antonio Vivaldi namely a series of works composed and performed between the mid-1710s and mid-1720s of the eighteenth century in celebration of important recurrent and non-recurrent events relating to the Kingdom of France and its diplomatic representatives resident in Italy.This serenata was indeed commissioned from Vivaldi by the French ambassador in Venice Jacques-Vincent Languet Count of Gergy on the occasion of the wedding of Louis XV to the Polish princess Maria Leszczyska and was performed during a festa that took place inthe ambassador’s garden on the evening of 12 September 1725.This critical edition is based on the autograph score held by Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria of Turin. It also includes an Introduction that describes the genesis and the first performance of the Serenata the state of the sources and its musical content. The critical edition includes an apparatus 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 notes in the manuscript of the serenata.

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.
