Product Description
by Antonio Vivaldi (Author)
This newly edited version of Vivaldi's 'Gloria' (RV 589) matches up this piano vocal score with a new set of orchestra parts (available separately). Previous versions of this work by other publishers are traditionally littered with mistakes and wrong notes / instructions / inconsistent dynamics, which have been fixed in this edition, including the addition of rehearsal marks which correspond with the conductor score and orchestra parts. Vivaldi's 1715 work comprises twelve movements: 1. Gloria (Chorus), 2. Et in terra pax (Chorus), 3. Laudamus te (two solo Sopranos), 4. Gratias agimus tibi (Chorus), 5. Propter magnam gloriam (Chorus), 6. Domine Deus (solo Soprano), 7. Domine Fili unigenite (Chorus), 8. Domine Deus, Agnus Dei (solo Contralto and Chorus), 9. Qui tollis peccata mundi (Chorus), 10. Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris (solo Contralto), 11. Quoniam tu solus sanctus (Chorus) and 12. Cum Sancto Spiritu (Chorus). It has become one of the most popular works for choirs throughout the world, and notably features the duet Laudamus te, the solo Domine Deus and the title work for chorus, Gloria. This is frequently a major study work at conservatoires and universities. This new version is for voice and piano, with the piano part adjusted to more closely resemble the orchestral parts.
