Gloria in D
Arranged for choir with one male voice (arr. by C. Rosiny) RV 589
The Gloria in D, RV 589, is one of Vivaldi’s best-known sacred works. This Carus edition – which was actually our first ever publication – has certainly made a major contribution to the now enormous popularity of this choral work, which, with its great inventiveness, is typical of the composer’s work (Carus 40.001/50).
Christiane Rosiny’s arrangement of this masterpiece for SSAB choir is aimed at mixed ensembles with a limited number of male voices as well as youth choirs. While soprano and bass remain practically unchanged, the middle voices are arranged for soprano and alto. There are sensible suggestions for cuts should the size of the work prove to be an obstacle. These will help shorten the rehearsal time while preserving the unique character of the individual sections. A vocal score and a choral score are available in addition to the full score. The orchestral parts are taken from the original version.

Karl Heller
Translation (abridged): John CoombsThe Gloria in D major has, more than any other work, established Vivaldi’s reputation as a composer of church music. In the compositional design of this work Vivaldi followed the same basic conception which is known from Bach’s B minor Mass: it is arranged in a large number of individual movements, some of which are for chorus, while others are solo arias or duets. This is the basis of the socalled “cantata” or “number” Mass, which enabled the composer to focus on central thoughts of the text. Thus the twelve movements profit from a great diversity of character, while at the same spanning a considerable stylistic range.
The heart of the composition is the chorus “Et in terra pax.” Among the unusual features of this masterly piece is the fact that the musical events proceed on two levels which motivically are distinct from each other: the orchestra plays wide intervals,

Die Wiederbelebung der Musik Antonio Vivaldis im 20. Jahrhundert ging einher mit der Neuentdeckung bisher völlig unbekannter Schaffensbereiche des Komponisten. Für die stärksten Überraschungen sorgte dabei ein großer Bestand an geistlicher Vokalmusik, dessen Repertoire von der groß angelegten Mess- und Vesperkomposition bis zum biblischen Oratorium und zur Solomotette reicht. Die ersten Wiederaufführungen solcher Werke, darunter das Gloria RV 589 und das Credo RV 591, während einer Vivaldi-Woche in Siena 1939 wurden geradezu als Sensation empfunden. Sie ließen deutlich werden, dass der Komponist gerade auf diesem Sektor Werke höchsten künstlerischen Ranges geschaffen hat.
Wie kaum ein zweites Werk hat das Gloria D-Dur RV 589 dazu beigetragen, den Ruf Vivaldis als Kirchenkomponist zu begründen. Seit es 1941 als erstes der kirchenmusikalischen Werke des Komponisten durch Druck veröffentlicht wurde, erfreut es sich der besonderen Gunst der Musizierenden und der Hörer. Die Gründe dafür mögen vielfältiger Natur sein, liegen aber gewiss primär bei der Kraft und dem Reichtum der musikalischen Erfindung und Ausdrucksgebung.

Composer
Antonio Vivaldi
| 1678-1741Antonio (Lucio) Vivaldi was an Italian composer and violinist of the Baroque period.
It is assumed that his father, who was a musician himself, was responsible for Vivaldi's musical education. However, he began his professional career as a priest, which earned him the nickname Il prete rosso (the red-haired priest).
From 1703, Vivaldi worked intermittently as a violin teacher and composer at the Ospedale della Pietà, an orphanage for girls in Venice, until shortly before his death. Initially, he also worked there as a priest, but relinquished this role after three years. He wrote numerous chamber music works and concertos for his pupils at the Pietà. The famous Four Seasons are particularly well-known and often performed today. Vivaldi also composed sacred and secular vocal music and was an opera composer and director.
Of over 800 works known today, only 135 were published during Vivaldi's lifetime. After his death, Vivaldi's compositions were initially largely forgotten. Many of his works were rediscovered and published, particularly in the 20th century. Among them is the Gloria in D RV 589, the very first sheet music edition published by Carus-Verlag.
