Geistliche Musik Vol.4 - CD

Antonio Vivaldi: Geistliche Musik Vol.4 version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Naxos on 27. November 2015.

Vivaldi's astonishing output includes a number of sacred choral works and some forty cantatas. Most of this music was written for soloists and the choir of the girls' orphanage in Venice where he worked and taught. Although the motets and psalm settings in this volume are religious works intended to be performed during Mass, they are often strikingly operatic in character. Invicti bellate is a bravura setting, while In turbato mare irato requires a wide vocal range and the use of melismas from opera, all of the pieces show Vivaldi's vivid musical imagination and dramatic treatment of words.Product Information Vivaldi's stunning output includes many sacred choral pieces and some forty cantatas.
