Gloria (Vivaldi)
Antonio Vivaldi wrote at least three Gloria compositions, settings of the hymn Gloria in excelsis Deo, with words probably dating back to the 4th century, and an integral part of the mass ordinary. Two of them have survived: RV 588 and RV 589. A third, RV 590, is mentioned only in the Kreuzherren catalogue and presumed lost. The RV 589 Gloria is a familiar and popular piece among sacred works by Vivaldi. It was probably written at about the same time as the RV 588, possibly in 1715. ''Introduction '' As with other choral pieces the composer, Vivaldi, wrote many ''introduzioni'' (introductory motets) that were to be performed before the Gloria itself. Four ''introduzioni'' exist for these Glorias: ''Cur Sagittas'' (RV 637), ''Jubilate, o amoeni cori'' (RV 639) (the last movement of which is compositionally tied with the first movement of RV 588), ''Longe Mala, Umbrae, Terrores'' (RV 640), and ''Ostro Picta'' (RV 642). Settings RV 588 The lesser known of the two survivin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gloria (U2 Song)
"Gloria" is a song by rock band U2. It is the opening track and second single from the band's 1981 album, ''October''. It features a chorus sung in Latin, from the liturgical " Gloria in Excelsis Deo." It was one of their lowest-charting singles on the UK singles chart, peaking at #55 but was more successful in Ireland and New Zealand, reaching the Top 20. Allmusic cited the song as an example of "when U2 marry the message, melody, and sound together... the results are thoroughly impressive," while Pitchfork said the song "displays some musical dynamism, but its Latin-language chorus tempers its anthemic qualities." Composition "Gloria" highlights bassist Adam Clayton as it features three styles of playing in one song (using a pick for the most part, playing with fingers during the slide guitar by the Edge, then a "slap & pop" solo towards the end). The chorus "Gloria in te Domine / Gloria exultate" translates to "Glory in You, Lord / Glory, exalt im with "exalt" in the impe ...
