Gloria (Vivaldi)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gloria in D major (RV 589) by Antonio Vivaldi is a popular setting of the hymn Gloria in excelsis Deo for choir, vocal soloists, and orchestra. It is still regularly performed in churches and at concerts. The lengths of the movements vary greatly, with the fourth movement (Gratias agimus tibi) being just six measures long, and several other movements being over five pages long.

Vivaldi wrote another Gloria in D major (RV 588).
