- Antonio Vivaldi
- Gloria RV 589
- Movement #5
- Propter Magnam Gloriam Tuam
-
- This is a piece demonstrating the four vocal parts of the movement. To
- have included the orchestration would have required more voices. As I have
- performed this piece, let me give you a taste of what it's like with
- orchestra:
-
- The preceding movement, #4 (which I will transpose soon) and this
- movement constitue a severe introduction and fugato. You shall understand
- when you hear them both together. The Gloria, a twelve part piece, opens
- with 'Gloria in Excelsis' dominated with stomping octaves, to which the
- violins and upper wind counterpose rapid figurations. The second movement is
- profound, and quite romantic for the period. The cheerful third movement,
- 'Laudamus Te' is characteristic of harmonic resourcefulness. I will give
- more description of this piece when I put more of it into DMCS. Until then,
- enjoy it. I didn't really play with the instruments. You might not want the
- bass so low if you are using your Amiga monitor, although I hope you all
- have 100 watt+ stereo systems hooked up to your computers. Otherwise, I
- think your missing something.
-
- Just load Gloria5 into DMusic. In case you don't have the instruments
- used for this piece, they are included. Enjoy! Please tell me what you
- think.
