Attempts to create more attention to RV 588 and other sacred Vivaldi works (most notably by The King's Consort) have gone underway.Īs with many other pieces of the Baroque era, RV 589 (and its lesser known companion RV 588) have been performed in historically-performed instrumentation, even with the use of an all-female choir to simulate choral conditions at the Pietà.About Due to new recommendations from Nova Scotia’s public health authorities regarding COVID-19, Gloria! Vivaldi & his angels has been postponed with a new date to be announced soon. RV 588, however, has had little success and has only been published in few albums. It has been recorded on almost one hundred CDs, sometimes paired with Bach's Magnificat (BWV 243), Vivaldi's own Magnificat settings (RV 610-611), or Vivaldi's Beatus Vir (RV 597). RV 589 enjoys well-founded popularity, performed at many sacred events, including Christmas. The Glorias remained in a relatively unknown status, until RV 589's revival by Alfredo Casella during "Vivaldi Week" in Siena (1939), along with the composer's setting of the Stabat Mater (RV 621).

The last movement, "Cum Sancto Spiritu," is essentially an "upgraded" version of Ruggieri's movement - that is to say, updated to fit the standards of the emerging late Baroque style, with the addition of accidentals not present in RV Anh.

RV 589 is the better known setting of the Gloria, simply known as the "Vivaldi Gloria" due to its outstanding popularity. Four introduzioni exist for these Glorias: Cur Sagittas (RV 637), Jubilate, o amoeni cori (RV 639), Longe Mala, Umbrae, Terrores (RV 640), and Ostro Picta (RV 642).
