Beatus vir, RV 597 by Antonio Vivaldi — Lyrics
Alleluia. Reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.
Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus: et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.
Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:
quia in aeternum non commovebitur.
In memoria aeterna erit justus;

About Beatus vir, RV 597
Antonio Vivaldi's Beatus vir, RV 597, is a powerful setting of Psalm 111, a text celebrating the virtues of the righteous man who fears the Lord. The psalm's verses speak of blessings, prosperity, and eternal remembrance for the just, contrasting their enduring light with the fleeting darkness. Vivaldi's composition, written for double SATB choir and Latin text, brings these themes to life with dramatic flair and contrapuntal skill. The text opens with an Alleluia, followed by reflections on the blessings bestowed upon those who follow God's commandments, painting a vivid picture of divine favour and lasting righteousness. It is a significant work within Vivaldi's sacred output, demonstrating his mastery of choral writing and his profound connection to liturgical texts.
