Antonio Vivaldi Magnificat

RV 610 / RV 611

Read and write feedback
The office as a priest and the long years as musical director of the Ospedale della Pietà (a large orphonage in Venice) both occasioned and inspired him to compose church music in large variety. The Magnificat RV 160 has come down to us in two versions. The first version is dominated by the choral concept, in the second version the texts of "Et exultavit, Quia respexit, Quia fecit, Esurientes", and "Sicut locutus est" are each given new and extended solo arias that – as the manuscripts reveals – were tailored to voices of girls from the Ospedale who are mentioned by name in the autograph.

  • Text from the CD Carus 83.325

    Karl Heller
    Translation (abridged): John Coombs

    The Magnificat in G minor belongs liturgically in the service of Vespers. Vivaldi set this song of praise to Mary only once. The first version was written for the Ospedale della Pietà between 1713 and 1717 (RV 610b), but the work was revised at least twice. The version RV 610, differs from the original version only in points of detail. The characteristic features of this work include a clear sense of compositional terseness. Despite the particular charm of such a piece as the duet “Esurientes,” it is generally agreed that the greatest effect is created by the choral movements. This is true of the opening “Magnificat” with its extravagant gestures, concise plasticity in the unisono of the “Deposuit potentes de sede,” and above all of the “Et misericordia,” which is distinguished by its close counterpoint and expressive harmonic tension. The words at that point are set to music whose

  • Booklet-Text der CD Carus 83.325

    Karl Heller

    Die Wiederbelebung der Musik Antonio Vivaldis im 20. Jahrhundert ging einher mit der Neuentdeckung bisher völlig unbekannter Schaffensbereiche des Komponisten. Für die stärksten Überraschungen sorgte dabei ein großer Bestand an geistlicher Vokalmusik, dessen Repertoire von der groß angelegten Mess- und Vesperkomposition bis zum biblischen Oratorium und zur Solomotette reicht. Die ersten Wiederaufführungen solcher Werke, darunter das Gloria RV 589 und das Credo RV 591, während einer Vivaldi-Woche in Siena 1939 wurden geradezu als Sensation empfunden. Sie ließen deutlich werden, dass der Komponist gerade auf diesem Sektor Werke höchsten künstlerischen Ranges geschaffen hat.

    Zu den Sätzen des Messordinariums tritt mit dem Magnificat g-Moll eine Komposition, die ihrer liturgischen Stellung nach dem Vespergottesdienst – als dessen Schlussstück – zugehört. Vivaldi hat diesen Lobgesang der Maria (Luk 1,46–55) nur ein einziges Mal vertont, die zwischen 1713 und 1717 entstandene Erstfassung (RV 610b) allerdings wenigstens zweimal umgearbeitet, das letzte Mal 1739 zu einer Fassung, die fünf neu komponierte Soloarien für Sängerinnen des Ospedale della Pietà

Magnificat RV 610

Diese Ausgabe ist wertvoll, weil hier in einer Ausgabe die Fassungen des Magnificats RV 610 und von RV 611 vereint werden. Die fünf feinen Arien im galanten Stil sind im Anhang präsentiert und erlauben dem Musiker; die Wahl zwischen der früheren und der späteren Fassung. Diese geniale editionstechnische Idee aus dem Jahr 1973 sollte auch bei anderen Werken Vivaldis Schule machen. Sehr zu empfehlen.
