Schola Cantorum will be performing Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria on Friday 20th April 2012 in Chester Cathedral. Vivaldi actually wrote several settings of the Gloria, but the D major RV 589 version is the most well known. The Gloria is scored for mixed choir with a number of soprano and alto soloists, and was originally written for Vivaldi’s own choir at the Pio Ospedale della Pietà.
Members of the choir can hear MIDI files of their own voice parts at the CyberBass website. Simply select the voice part and movement that you would like to hear and the MIDI file should start to play automatically. See Mr Robinson if you have any problems hearing the music on this site.
You can find various recordings on the Naxos Music Library (ask the Music staff at school for the username and password), and here is a different recording from YouTube:
