Vivaldi - Gloria in D Major, RV 589

[LittleJazmin96]

We Played This At My Winter Concert :D But Definitely Not This Fast :( Lmao

[ComposerJMA]

Wow I certainly learned D major wrong

[TheJbach]

Lully is quite pleasurable as well.

[sophieranma]

this is soo not D major. this key being played is D flat major

[peres010492]

@sophieranma I hate when everybody thinks they are great just for having perfect pitch :D Anyway, as I said MANY times before (oh, only if you have read the previous comments), you would have seen that this ensemble plays with A tuned to 415Hz. The key is still in D Major, it's the pitch that is different.

[sophieranma]

@peres010492 well you are wrong, i don't think i am great just for having perfect pitch, a lot of people have them. :) however i do thank GOD for giving me the talent to be able to hear & play peices w/o music. there is a downside though, i am terrible at sight reading. :P

[OrangeSodaKing]

@sophieranma Hmm... I could be wrong, but I think that interval recognition is more valuable than pitch recognition when it comes to sight reading. By practicing sight reading and focusing a lot on interval recognition (and harmonic recognition), that may help your sight reading a lot!

[sophieranma]

@OrangeSodaKing you mean singing? i majored in piano. i guess the same strategy can be applied to piano sight reading

[sosome57]

@peres010492 I've noticed this gets addressed a lot among the baroque music uploads. Thumbs up to you.

[vittatimoarita]

and Arcangello Corelli too... the Vivaldi´s master!!!!

[thomas271104]

I like this one, it's very lively unlike some other versions around here

[SpeedingStudent]

How could this man have been a mere mortal?

In my eyes, Vivaldi was second only to Beethoven.

[gloria97able]

My name is Gloria and I am very happy to hear this song!

It's very soft and energetic.

[technocrash09]

@gloria97able You should check out an old movie called "runaway Train" with Jon Voight, Eric Roberts and Rebecca DeMornnay. They use Vivaldi's Gloria in D throughout. The final 10 minutes (including the credits) will move you to tears, I can almost guarantee you.

[qantasCapt]

@gloria97able - Good on ya, Gloria - it's GLORIOUS!!

[MijackLover]

Vivaldi makes me proud to be Italian.

[SpeedingStudent]

@MijackLover Vivaldi, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galielo, and countless others make me proud to be 3rd generation Italian-American.

Can't read or speak it, though.

Cheers, from America.

[brother234]

@SpeedingStudent Whatabout Caligula or Nero, you forgot them- Just kidding. lol

[littlefurybug]

I think the ending is a little too nonchalant... it kinda just happens. but don't get me wrong, I could never make anything 1/10th as good as this. Bravo.

[socisz]

Proper

[jonnoedwardo]

@socisz Don't you mean "ordinary," since this is from the mass ordinary instead of the mass proper. JK, sorry, a little music humor for you.

[lightforceva]

wow - this one is fast!

[macxtc]

this is the best version on youtube

[madeddi]

@macxtc the version conducted by trevor pinnock is very good. see what you think.

[Jeremie1987]

Ah, la musique de DIEU, la musique divine !!

[Thepoetastro]

@Jeremie1987 OUI,,,,

TIBI SILENTIUM LAUS, COME L'A DIT MSGR. JACQUES BENIGNE BOSSUET...

[Fosfolipidnidvosloj]

Though I was a soul in pain... My pain I could not feel... :'(

[sosome57]

The more little tidbits of information I pick up about this guy, the more I wish I could have known him. I've heard some people dismiss him as fluff and others consider him the father of baroque music. According to something I just read, he had a major influence on Bach and his son (either CPE or JC) and many others. During his life, other composers could only try to keep up with him. Impressive. Thanks for sharing this. Quite beautiful.

[almightyjafar]

It's Baroque...juss sayin.

[JNSR0]

Veramente la musica di DIO!.

[Jeremie1987]

@JNSR0 : Exactement :-)

[bobstronge]

they are Gerrrrmans?

[tkhushrenada]

I'm not a genius and I don't know a thing about classical music, except that I love this.

[sunshineandpopsicles]

@pakommal, did you mean Baroque?

It sounds like you tried to mix the music style with the first name of the U.S. president.

[pakommal]

@sunshineandpopsicles : sorry. xD i'm german. and i didn't know the english word. so i wrote german. ;D

[Johannes999999999]

I have only known Vivaldi for his violin concertos, and I am pleasantly surprised by the quality and scale of his religious works.

[silasbruno1991]

quando ouvi este gloria ñ aguentei sem chorar pois ele e muito bom

[Apilinaa]

i like classic music very much.!!

[TornaZefiro]

Meravigliosoooooooooo Vivaldi!!!!!!!!!

[PhoeFira]

VERY BEAUTIFUL! My heart beats fast every time I hear it! Fantastic!

[BabyDoll23586]

BRAVISIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[i3xxxhot]

Absolutely magnificent. This song is far too incredible for words.

[matancero2001]

Vivaldi, eres lo maximo arriba la cultura latina, tambien me gusta las 4 estaciones

[Fusion2222]

i were never interested in vocals at all but this one rocks!! it makes whole concerto even more awesome

[pakommal]

i need some barock music. do you know any componists of barock?

[peres010492]

@pakommal Well, Vivaldi is one. Then there's Händel, Bach, Telemann, Albinoni, Hasse, Graun, Broschi, Vinci, Leo, Pachelbel... Lots and lots of them

[pakommal]

@peres010492  thank you (:

[MOnsterPCable]

@peres010492

Paganini and Tartini were very controversial during their time but their baroque is one of my favorites too...

[peres010492]

@MOnsterPCable Paganini isn't baroque...

[Lity10]

@pakommal check out Bach if you want a nice baroque composer, or Telemann.

/watch?v=5Sr9zxkEjGA

^ that's a nice vid of Bach ONLY

[Shadesofblue1988]

@pakommal Lol, "barock".

[pakommal]

@Shadesofblue1988 : pff. sorry. i'm german. and i did'n know the english word. so i wrote it in german. ;D everyone understood me. what else do you need?

[sinetiempo]

@pakommal it's baroque, sunshine

[pakommal]

@sinetiempo : sorry. it's german, SUNSHINE. i didn't know the english word ;D

[cooldudep]

@pakommal btw its Baroque*

[Jeremie1987]

@pakommal : Also Lully, Rameau, (Jean) Gilles, Charpentier, Mondonville.

[jutescrim]

@pakommal baroque. I think what you really ned is some intelligence

[unasensualita]

@pakommal Pachelbel (canon...), Johann Sebastian Bach, Händel, Albinoni...

[MattBaumann777]

@pakommal Check out Orlando di Lasso.

[yourforte]

Beautiful and uplifting.

[joelt6502]

I am always moved to tears when I hear this...the first movement is breath taking! Gloria!

[faustoj26a]

its like a piece of heaven near to you. Barroque forever

[CharlieBladeRemus]

Why do I hear a classical guitar? I don't remember there being one in the score... :/

[peres010492]

@CharlieBladeRemus Where do you hear it?

[CharlieBladeRemus]

@peres010492 If you listen closely in "Et in terra pax" you can hear it. It sounds like an acoustic, but darker

[peres010492]

@CharlieBladeRemus It's a theorbo

[CharlieBladeRemus]

@peres010492 Ah, okay. I've never heard of that though...interesting. Thanks!

[jutescrim]

Powerful stuff, I love the major/minor key changes, certainly on a par with JSB

[Piano194]

It's meant to be in D major, not C#...

[peres010492]

@Piano194 This is a baroque ensemble, so they play with their instruments tuned to A=415 Hz. The piece is in D major and it is being played in D major, acording to 18th century tuning.

[Piano194]

@peres010492 Ah, good point; it's probably less straining for the singers too!

[pianoman74]

@peres010492 Perfect explanation. I really thought it was from a vinyl record running too slow ;)

[LoonyYuna]

Yah, its in D, but one could be forgiven for thinking its in C sharp. I have perfect pitch and it threw me for a moment. Its actually between the two keys. But if I had to name the key I would probably have gone with C Sharp too.

[Faridee]

This is soooo perfect, I sung this when I was 15 yo (almost 30 now), brought so many memories. Thank you!!!

[opmaus]

This is faster than allegro...but then, everyone has their own interpretation.

[confutatis747]

nearly as good as nickleback lol

[monaldeschi]

Nonostante la lunghezza suonato nelle nostre Chiese durante la Messa ci aiuterebbe a contemplare meglio la bellezza di Dio!!! Questa composizione è magnifica!!!!!!

[kokomanation]

WHAT A GREAT MUSIC MAN

[manitate]

wow how a sinceer musical piece !!!!!!!!!!

[punkkitten63]

We're performing this tonight. :)

[dunhillbluslim]

BRIVIDI....

[CharlieBladeRemus]

And is it supposed to be this fast? I've seen/heard several renditions and they are WAY slower...or is this Baroque-period Allegro?

[peres010492]

@CharlieBladeRemus Do you think this is fast?!?!?!? You should hear Alessandrini's rendition of this Gloria. You have problably hear some romanticized, 19th century style renditions of this piece. This is an Allegro, it's suposed to be fast.

[peres010492]

@CharlieBladeRemus /watch?v=UAqDksfRuTo

[CharlieBladeRemus]

@peres010492 HOLY CRAP! I checked out that video, and just hearing it almost broke my neck with its speed! LOL jk...But that one felt more like Presto than Allegro!

[hurricaneolga]

@CharlieBladeRemus this is not a fast version. iv heard much faster. this is just right

[CharlieBladeRemus]

@hurricaneolga Maybe I was just being skeptical, lol....I'm used to singing it a little slower than this. I'm about to sing it at Carnegie Hall next week, and I have no idea how fast the orchestra plans to take it...

[peres010492]

@CharlieBladeRemus I actually find it easier at this tempo (I play the violin)

[Foamykhan]

Lol yeah sha'up and enjoy the tune bruv. Bambacklats......

[lupinneon7]

A masterpiece

[jojobobo627]

It's in the key of A for Awesome not stop arguing!

[davidcsibi]

this is in D major not in F major

[peres010492]

Who said it is in F Major?

[davidcsibi]

@peres010492 : the F is the last note in this performance, in other performance the las note is the D

[peres010492]

Which movement?

[davidcsibi]

@peres010492 : in the first movement (excelis deo)

[peres010492]

It's in D Major and it ends with a D

[CharlieBladeRemus]

@peres010492 I understand what davidcsibi is saying; if you listen closely to the last note in the first movement, there is a slight harmony in there and you can faintly hear an F in there (or F# in Baroque tuning).

And it's interesting how orchestras always end this movement on a unison D, when with the piano/vocal scores I've seen, it ends on a full D major chord...

[crob647gtx]

the "et in terra pax" was absolutely ethereal.

[47suave42]

wow que creatividad de este cuate, me quedo boca abierto

[youtoubidou]

Magnifique interprétation, merci !

[CrackAGrin]

This is not in D major. Still, a great piece.

[peres010492]

Not in D Major? Explain.

[CrackAGrin]

I mean that this recording isn't in D major, it's in D flat. (I have perfect pitch.)

[peres010492]

Perfect pitch is no fun. This is a baroque ensemble, so they play with their instruments tuned to A=415 Hz. The piece is in D major and it is being played in D major, acording to 18th century tuning.

[CrackAGrin]

Ohhh, I understand. Thank you for explaining.

[uggyboots]

aww i want perfect pitch

[uggyboots]

17th/18th cenury tuning

[CharlieBladeRemus]

@peres010492 I was definitely about to say that this was in D-Flat Major too. (I have perfect pitch as well, haha).

So what you're saying is that in the Baroque period, instrumentalists tuned their instruments a half-step flat on purpose? Interesting...

[peres010492]

@CharlieBladeRemus Actually, in the 18th century there was no standard tuning. For instance, French baroque tuning is about 398 (I think) Hz instead of 415 Hz (as in this recording). There also some sources that make us believe that in Venice, A was tuned at 460 Hz, much brighter than today's 440/442.

[AriadnaSC]

Esto es magnífico. Vivaldi, genio.

[peretz125]

@AriadnaSC yo se, es fantastica. Me encanta vivaldi porque su musica es muy bonita y su gloria es un asombro

[AriadnaSC]

@peretz125 Coincido con tu comentario.

[ShakespeareHamlet]

Vavaldi was a brilliant composer. "Le Quattro Staglioni," "Magnificat" & "Gloria In D Major" are some of his best compositions.
