Antonio Vivaldi was one of the great Italian, Baroque composers. Equally at home when writing for either instruments or singers, this work for two part choir, originally a duet for two sopranos, shows off both the singers and the players. A keyboard part along with 2 cello parts--included in the back of the octavo--provide a wonderful example of Baroque stylings. The vocal music is an example of melismatic vocal writing and offers your singers the opportunity to experience this important style. |
