She has a pretty voice and great breath control.

I like it in the faster tempo, but also in this type of tempo too.

[gharusa]

excellently executed. Well done!!!

Why is everyone saying to take this faster? The FASTEST BPM written on Vivaldi's original score was 78. All of his contralto solos are slower than the choral parts or soprano solos.

And yes, Gloria was written to praise God, but look at the translation of the Latin, people! "He who sits at the (right) hand of the Father, have mercy upon us." It's not a fugue. Really. Taking it much faster would ruin the message of the piece.

[Palmarbeach]

Translation "He Who sits on the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us."

Maybe the piece should be faster, but this part is not necessarily joyful! And yes, her pronounciation is not perfect, but all in all well done. She's singing to praise God, not impress people, anyway!

I'm working on this song right now! :)

too slow

[drewc57]

Sorry, but... nobody gives a fuck about going this much into detail about pronunciation. IT'S LATIN, nobody speaks it.

i like very much, very, very much!!!! soli deo gloria.

[rainbow0921]

oh hush about the timing, the timing was perfect and comfortable! i think the woman did a FABULOUS job so stick that in your 'qui' and smoke it!

[maestrorog]

I agree the tempo is too slow... Gloria is supposed to be a piece praising God... its supposed to sound upbeat and joyful
