Ed. critica P. Everett - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte di A. Frigé. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. This volume presents the vocal score of Vivaldi's Stabat Mater RV 621 for alto, strings and continuo, based on the critical edition by Paul Everett. Composed for the church of Santa Maria della Pace in Brescia, it was performed, for the first time, on 8 March 1712, for the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary celebration. It is considered as one of the most inspired and celebrated Vivaldian works. Together with the Gloria RV 589 and the Quattro stagioni, it dates from a juvenile period. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Chant et Piano

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).

Aria pour mezzo (composé à l'origine pour mezzo-castrato) Extrait du pasticcio Andromeda liberata Format 22,5 x 32 cm, Couverture cartonnée. 20 pages : 1 conducteur clavier (piano), 1 conducteur chant, violon solo. Partition musicale (musical score) : Arrangement pour clavier (piano) Extrait d'Andromeda liberata, l'air Sovvente il sole offre une ligne mélodique magnifique, un dialogue émouvant entre le héros Persée et le violon solo. S'inspirant de la légende grecque d'Andromède, le pasticcio conte le sacrifice d'une princesse d'Ethiopie Andromède, offerte par son peuple au dieu Poséidon, afin d'étancher sa soif de vengeance et qui fut sauvée de justesse par le valeureux Persée. Andromeda Liberata serait un pasticcio, auquel auraient contribué Giovanii Porta, Tomaso Albinoni, et peut-être Niccola Porpora. Le manuscrit, daté de 1726, a été retrouvé en 2002 dans les archives du Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello, à Venise. Seul l'air Sovvente il sole, avec violon obligé, est attribué avec certitude à Antonio Vivaldi. Sovente il sole risplende in cielo, più bello e vago se oscura nube già l'offuscò. E il mar tranquillo quasi senza onda talor si scorge, se ria procella già lo turbò. Souvent le soleil resplendit dans le ciel, plus beau et agréable si un sombre nuage l'a d'abord assombri. Et la mer calme, presque sans vagues, on ne peut l'apercevoir que si une rude tempête l'a d'abord troublée. Cet aria a été enregistré par Philippe Jaroussky et l'ensemble Matheus sur le CD Heros - VIVALDI - opera arias (2006), ainsi que par Nathalie Stutzmann et l'ensemble Orfeo 55, sur le CD Prima dionna (2010).
