Vivaldi was able to combine the Vatican's demands for text clarity  together with the Venetians' wish of for splendor. He dispensed with soloistic arias and with regard to declamation the choir was used, for the most part,  homophonically. This is easy for the choir - to sing in conjunction with the violins, which play Vivaldi's typical sixteenth-note movitves, but this still requires a certain precision. In the Crucifixus Vivaldi has the choir moving in expressive chromatic lines, suppoted only by short orchestral chords: this is also not so simple. How good to

    I believe in one God,

  • Text from the CD Carus 83.325

    Karl Heller
    Translation (abridged): John Coombs

    The Credo RV 591 shows in wide stretches a continuous, uninterrupted setting of the words. Thus, the duration of the composition of this textually lengthy section of the Mass is only about a third as long as the Gloria RV 589. Vivaldi achieved this by forcing the large blocks of text of the Credo into a unified musical mould. In so doing, the principle of musical duality is again confirmed: The basic, characteristic idea, whose in sistent rhythm is emphasized by rapid repeated notes, is entrusted to the orchestra, while the cho rus declaim the words in block chords. This treatment of the chorus is only abandoned in the final section of the work: The words “Et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen” are set as a short fugue, but at the same time they remain surrounded by the unifying flow of the instruments.

    The only sections with music uniquely their own

  • Booklet-Text der CD Carus 83.325

    Karl Heller

    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 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.

    Einer starken Aufsplitterung des Textes in Einzelsätze (wie beispielsweise im GloriaRV 589) steht im Credo RV 591 auf weite Strecken eine durchgehende Vertonung des Textes gegenüber.

  • Antonio (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.
