The Gloria RV 589 is a familiar and popular piece among sacred works by Vivaldi. It was probably written in about 1715-1717.
Vivaldi was asked to write a good deal of religious music for the accomplished musicians at the Ospedale della Pieta, the girls' orphanage in Venice where he served as music director. In all likelihood, the present Gloria, in which all the vocal solos are for female voices, was written for the girls at the school.
It is a setting of a single section of a mass, but it is almost certainly a complete work and not a fragment, since it was not uncommon to write individual mass movements for specific occasions.
Larger pieces for women's/treble voices and orchestra is not common, with this in mind have I arranged the Gloria for three-part chorus of women's/treble voices and a small orchestra.
1. Gloria in excelsis Deo (chorus)
2. Et in terra pax (chorus)
3. Laudamus te (2 soprano)
4. Gratias agimus tibi (chorus)
5. Propter magnam gloriam (chorus)
6. Domine Deus (soprano)
7. Domine, Fili unigenite (chorus)
8. Domine Deus, Agnus Dei (alto and chorus)
9. Qui tollis peccata mundi (chorus)
10. Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris (alto)
11. Quoniam tu solus sanctus (chorus)
12. Cum Sancto Spiritu (chorus)
