Ed. critica M. Talbot - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte di A. Frigé-The Dixit Dominus RV 595 shares a key and some further characteristics with the better-known setting of the same psalm RV 594 but differs from it markedly: first in being scored for an undivided ensemble (i.e. not in due cori ): second in belonging to Vivaldi s first period of sacred music composition around 1715 rather than to a later period. There are stylistic parallels too with Vivaldi s two Gloria settings RV 588 and RV 589. Three of the eleven movements making up RV 595 use borrowed material which in two instances is taken from movements by unknown composers in Vivaldi s own collection and in one instance (heavily disguised) from a published madrigal(1705) by Antonio Lotti. The borrowings are absorbed extremely well into the fabric of the setting and do not disrupt its well-unified character. Among the high points of RV 595 are its opening pair of moments the first bustling and the second poignantly reflective and the fourth movement Tecum principium where two obbligato cellos enter into dialogue with two sopranos. This Dixit Dominus preserved uniquely in Prague ranks among Vivaldi s finest large-scale sacred vocal compositions. The Introduction and Critical Commentary for this vocal score are based on the Critical Edition by Michael Talbot published in 1993.

Dixit Dominus (Ps 109), a psalm setting for double choir, is one of Vivaldi's most significant sacred works. In it, he takes up the old Venetian polychoral tradition, combining its compositional techniques with those of the instrumental concerto, the cantata and the opera. The broadly conceived cycle of movements, consisting of eight psalm verses and the doxology, is characterized by an expansive arch of tonalities connecting the two framing outer movements in D major (these are also thematically related): Dixit Dominus and Gloria Patri. The contrasting and varied inner movements are perfect examples of Vivaldi's skill in vividly portraying linguistic figures in music. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4000700.
