The Glorias remained in a relatively unknown status, until RV 589's revival by Alfredo Casella during "Vivaldi Week" in Siena (1939), along with the composer's setting of the Stabat Mater (RV 621). Domine Deus, Agnus Dei (Contralto and Chorus)ġ0. The last movement, "Cum Sancto Spiritu," is essentially an "upgraded" version of Ruggieri's movement - that is to say, updated to fit the standards of the emerging late Baroque style, with the addition of accidentals not present in RV Anh. The "Qui Tollis" movement of RV 589 is rhythmically similar to the first few measures of RV 588 (and ultimately RV Anh. 23 in that the second movement of both employ the use of repetitious semiquavers underneath choral progressions. The second movement is much more dramatic in RV 589, but nevertheless shares with RV Anh. The first movement's chorus shares similar key modulations to that of the first movement of RV 588, only modified to fit a duple meter instead of the triple meter of RV 588 the orchestral motifs are also shared, including octaval jumps in the primal motives of the piece. RV 589 is more mature and original than its predecessor, however evidence of obvious inspiration (and plagiarism) still exist. Two introduzioni exist as explained in the aforementioned article. This piece, along with its mother composition RV 588, was composed at the same time during Vivaldi's employment at the Pieta. RV 589 is the better known setting of the Gloria, simply known as the "Vivaldi Gloria" due to its outstanding popularity. Four introduzioni exist for these Glorias: Cur Sagittas (RV 637), Jubilate, o amoeni cori (RV 639), Longe Mala, Umbrae, Terrores (RV 640), and Ostro Picta (RV 642).
The two were written at about the same time (it is disputed which came first) in the early 18th century.Īs with other choral pieces the composer wrote, Vivaldi wrote many an introduzione (introductory motets) that were to be performed before the Gloria itself.
Only two survive (RV 588 and RV 589) whilst the other (RV 590) is presumably lost and is only mentioned in the Kreuzherren catalogue. RV 589 is the most familiar and popular piece of sacred music by Vivaldi however, he was known to have written at least three Gloria settings.
