Few baroque
composers were ever able
to create work as sunny,
as joyous as Vivaldi did
in this beloved Gloria.
The contrast of mood
throughout the work as it
moves through the drama
of the Mass to its
satisfying double final
movement shows the
composer at the height of
his powers.Vivaldi
composed this work in
Venice in about 1715,
during his fruitful time
at the Ospedale della
Pieta. In his lifetime
this priest, composer and
virtuoso Violinist
achieved enormous musical
success. Considering his
great popularity in the
modern era, it is
difficult to believe that
public appreciation of
his work declined after
his death and that the
Gloria languished
undiscovered
forcenturies. It wasn't
until 1957 that the
restored work was heard
again in its entirety.
Since that time, this
moving and joyous Gloria
has been recorded more
than one hundred times
and perennially appears
on concert series around
the world.
