Handel’s Dixit Dominus And Vivaldi’s Gloria: Magnificat RV 610 Vivaldi (+3 More)

Barts Choir presents three Baroque masterpieces. Alongside Vivaldi’s evergreen Gloria is the less familiar Magnificat which, in its 15 minutes, contains some of his most original vocal writing. Both works – as many of his instrumental and choral works – were written for the talented pupils of the Pietà orphanage in Venice and feature the virtuoso writing for strings for which he was famous.
In the early 1700s, the 22-year-old Handel was in Rome, and Dixit Dominus has all the hallmarks of a young man in a hurry, with elaborate contrapuntal writing for strings and voices to rival Corelli and Vivaldi, illustrating the different verses of this Vespers psalm.
