(Study Score). Psalm 126 for Soprano, 2 Contraltos, Viola d'amore, Chalumeau Tenore, Violin "in tromba marina," Violoncello, Organ, 2 Violins, Viola and Basso Continuo. The Nisi Dominus is an unpublished work recently re-discovered and attributed to Vivaldi. Now part of the New Critical Edition, this Nisi Dominus (an intonation of Psalm 126 in eight movements) was only re-discovered in May 2003. Until then it had escaped the notice of scholars since its only source - a score kept in Dresden - attributed it to Galuppi rather than its real author, Vivaldi. This is the "missing" work of the five psalms that Vivaldi wrote for the Ospedale della Pieta in 1739, two years before his death. The work consists of parts for a soprano, two contraltos, no fewer than five obbligato instruments (viola d'amore, cello, tenor chalumeau pipe, organ and "tromba marina"), string instruments and basso continuo. Each obbligato instrument appears with special prominence in one of the movements. This exotic orchestration makes this Vivaldi's most coloured sacred vocal work (apart from his Juditha triumphans). The Nisi Dominus is a highly interesting work, as its clearly shows how the composer was absorbing many aspects of the new gallant style in his last few years, while still keeping his own artistic personality intact. This edition is accompanied by a critical section in Italian and English.

Music Sales AmericaOne of the finest works of all Vivaldi's choral settings, arranged for the upper voices by Desmond Ratcliffe. Uplifting and melodic, the intoxicating tunes and spellbinding optimism of Gloria have helped it to become one of the most popular works in the Baroque choral repertoire.

Vivaldi's Four Seasons is one the best known and prettiest works of the Baroque Era, consisting of four movements. Before each concerto is a sonnet, probably composed by Vivaldi, that characterizes each respective season. This beautiful songbook features full-color illustrations, a summary, composer notes, and easy piano arrangements.

(Piano). Vivaldi's famous set of four violin concertos certainly ranks among the all-time top ten classical favorites. This Ricordi edition, especially designed for English-speaking markets, makes the music available to keyboard players, with new music engravings. Features include an introduction about the history of The Four Seasons and translations of the four 'explanatory sonnets' written by the composer about the concertos. Vivaldi's vivid indications that appear throughout the score have been translated into English. The Italian-only Ricordi edition for piano (50022190 Le quattro stagioni) has always been a steady seller in the US. This edition in English satisfies an obvious and ready appetite for this great music.
