The “Kyrie” RV 587 (BA 8954)for two choirs and two string ensembles, as arranged here for female choir, displays its own charm. The work, when set for female voices or children’s choir, remains a true masterpiece.
Taking this into account, Malcolm Bruno’s careful arrangement for choir SSAA is of some relevance. The work was, in all probability, composed around 1716 during Vivaldi’s time at the Ospedale della Pietà, an orphanage for girls in Venice.Īlthough Vivaldi’s “Gloria” (BA 8953) was written for solo voices and mixed choir, it is likely that it was performed at the girls’ orphanage with female voices only. The “Gloria” RV 589 is one of Vivaldi’s most popular compositions today and one of the most regularly performed sacred vocal works from the Baroque era.
