Description:
The "Gloria" RV 589 is probably one of Vivaldi's best-known compositions today and one of the most frequently performed sacred vocal works from the Baroque period. The work was almost certainly composed around 1716 during Vivaldi's time at the Ospedale della Pietà, an orphanage for girls in Venice. Although the composer also intended the work for solos and mixed choir, it is reasonable to assume that the "Gloria" was performed exclusively with female voices at the Ospedale.
The present arrangement (BA 8953) for choir SSAA by Malcolm Bruno takes this fact into account. It shows that this masterful composition can also be performed with a female or children's choir.
The "Kyrie" RV 587 (BA 8954) for two choirs and two string groups unfolds its very own charm in this arrangement for choir SSAA. Together with the Gloria, it can be combined into a kind of short mass.
Both arrangements are based on the recently published Urtext editions of the works. The piano reductions by the editor Malcolm Bruno are easy to play and preserve the character of the works.
