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.

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.
