Gloria, RV 589 by Antonio Vivaldi — Lyrics
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Laudamus te. Benedicimus te.
Adoramus te. Glorificamus te.
Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam.
Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens.
Domine Fili unigenite, Iesu Christe.
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris.

About Gloria, RV 589
A cornerstone of sacred choral repertoire, Vivaldi's Gloria in excelsis Deo, RV 589, is a vibrant setting of the ebullient Mass text. Composed for SATB choir and orchestra, this work is a staple for festive occasions in the liturgical year, particularly during Christmas and Easter. The Latin text, sung in its entirety, begins with the angels' announcement and unfolds the praise and adoration of the Trinity. Vivaldi's music mirrors the text's exuberance, with a dynamic range from grand, jubilant choruses to more intimate moments of supplication. Its immediate appeal and majestic character make it an inspiring choice for choirs seeking a powerful and engaging choral experience.
