| Added by magataganm, 01 Apr 2023 Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741) was an Italian composer and violinist, considered among the greatest exponents of Baroque music. A priest, although unable to celebrate mass for health reasons, he was called "the Red Priest" due to the color of his hair. He was one of the most virtuosic violinists of his time and one of the greatest composers of Baroque music. Considered the most important, influential and original Italian musician of his era, Vivaldi contributed significantly to the development of the concerto, especially solo (a genre initiated by Giuseppe Torelli), and of violin technique and orchestration. Furthermore, he did not neglect opera in music and his vast compositional work also includes numerous concerts, sonatas and pieces of sacred music. His works influenced numerous composers of his time including the greatest Baroque genius Johann Sebastian Bach, but also Pisendel, Heinichen, Zelenka, Boismortier, Corrette, De Fesch, Quantz. His best-known compositions are the four violin concertos known as The Four Seasons, a famous example of subject music. As with many Baroque composers, his name and music fell into oblivion after his death. Only thanks to the research of some 20th century musicologists, such as Arnold Schering, Marc Pincherle, Alberto Gentili, Alfredo Casella and Gian Francesco Malipiero, his name and his works became famous again, becoming one of the best known and most performed composers. Antonio Vivaldi composed three settings of the Dixit Dominus (The Lord said [unto my Lord]), the Latin version of Psalm 110. They include a setting in ten movements for five soloists, double choir and orchestra, RV 594, another setting in eleven movements for five voices, five-part choir and orchestra, RV 595, and a recently discovered setting in eleven movements for five soloists, choir and orchestra, RV 807, which had been attributed to Baldassare Galuppi. It is said to be one of his "most significant sacred works.". There are three recorded compositions of Dixit Dominus – Psalm 110 in Latin (or Psalm 109 in the Vulgate) – by Vivaldi. Each is an extended setting of the vespers psalm for five soloists, choir and orchestra; one only having been identified as his work in 2005. Psalm 110 is regularly included in Vespers services, usually as the opening psalm. Dixit Dominus has been said to be one of his "most significant sacred works". Vivaldi's best-known setting, catalogued as RV 594, is structured in ten movements, eight psalm verses and two movements for the doxology. It is set for soloists, double choir and orchestra. Set in D major, it is scored for two sopranos, alto, tenor and bass soloists, two SATB choirs and orchestras. The first choir (Coro I) is accompanied by two oboes, two trumpets (with timpani), two violins, viola, organ and basso continuo, while the second choir (Coro II) is accompanied by strings, organ and continuo.

Although originally written for Double Chorus (SATB/SATB), Oboes, Trumpets, Strings and Continuo, I created this Interpretation of "Gloria" from the "Dixit Dominus" in D Major (RV 594 Mvt. 9) for Winds (Flute, Oboe, French Horn & Bassoon) and Strings (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
