Attempts to attract more attention to RV 588 and other sacred Vivaldi works (most notably by The King's Consort) are underway. RV 588, however, has had little success and has been published in few albums. It has been recorded on almost one hundred CDs, sometimes paired with Bach's Magnificat (BWV 243), Vivaldi's own Magnificat settings (RV 610–611), or Vivaldi's Beatus Vir (RV 597). RV 589 enjoys well-founded popularity and is performed at many sacred events, including Christmas. The Glorias remained relatively unknown 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).

This Gloria provided much inspiration for Vivaldi's two settings and for other Glorias by other composers at the time, who may have used it in their settings. This composition, probably for a Venetian church during a festival, is dated SeptemN.S.
In the Ryom-Verzeichnis catalogue, it is considered lost.Īs stated above, this Gloria for two cori (orchestras) was written by Giovanni Maria Ruggieri. There is no other source of information not even its possible key can be conjectured. Little information exists on this lost work other than its instrumentation (five voices and oboes in trombae) in the Kreuzherren catalogue.

The last movement, "Cum Sancto Spiritu", is essentially an "updated" version of movement present in both 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, with the use of repeating rhythmic figures underneath harmonic motion. The second movement is significantly more chromatic in RV 589, but nonetheless is texturally similar to the setting present in RV Anh. Motivic material present in the orchestral parts of either piece are also shared, including octave jumps in the opening motives of the piece. 23: 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. Two introduzioni exist as explained above.Īs in RV 588, there exists evidence of influence by RV Anh. This piece, along with its mother composition RV 588, was composed at the same time during Vivaldi's employment at the Pietà. This is the better-known setting of the Gloria, simply known as the Vivaldi "Gloria" because of its outstanding popularity. Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris (Mezzo Soprano).The second movements of both RV 588 and RV 589 ("Et in Terra Pax") both show chromatic patterns and key modulations similar to that of the second movement of RV Anh. 23, sans the second coro employed in RV Anh. The first movement of RV 588 is also an extended version of RV Anh. Many movements show inspiration from this composition, and two movements ("Qui Tollis" and "Cum Sancto Spiritu") are plagiarised from the original Ruggieri setting (although "Qui Tollis" completely omits the second coro (chorus), and "Cum Sancto Spiritu" is slightly modified). RV 588 borrows extensively from a double orchestra-and-choir setting of the same text by Giovanni Maria Ruggieri (which will henceforth in this article be referred by its RV cataloguing number of RV. The date of composition between this Gloria and RV 589 is still disputed, but both show compositional inspiration from each other. The first movement is interwoven with the last aria of RV 639, as explained above. The lesser known of the two surviving Glorias, RV 588 was most likely composed during Vivaldi's employment at the Pio Ospedale della Pietà, known for its advanced choral ensemble. Four introduzioni exist for these Glorias: Cur Sagittas (RV 637), Jubilate, o amoeni cori (RV 639) (the last movement of which is compositionally tied with the first movement of RV 588), Longe Mala, Umbrae, Terrores (RV 640), and Ostro Picta (RV 642).
