CHORALANTONIO VIVALDI –LAUDA JERUSALEM(PSALM 147), RV 608FOR 2 SOPRANOS, 2 SATBCHORUSES, STRINGS, ANDCONTINUO

Critical Edition by MichaelTalbotFull ScoreRicordi

Vivaldi’s setting in E minor of the Psalm LaudaJerusalem, which was probably written towards the endof his life, was one of the number of works that hesupplied to the Ospedale della Pietà in 1739. Itresembles the Beatus vir RV 598 in being conceived asa single, extremely long movement, but differs from it inemploying a double choir and orchestra. The LaudaJerusalem is a muscular, memorable work that showsVivaldi’s invention at the end of his career to beundimmed.50485755............................................................$19.95
