Magnificat in G minor, RV 611Antonio Vivaldi50rank/position

Antonio Vivaldi. Magnificat, RV 611.

“Magnificat” is a type of Christian sacred song that sets the Virgin Mary’s prayer from the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament.

Vivaldi’s Magnificat is notable for its crisp orchestral unison and a noble, sorrow-tinged soprano melody.

The best-known version, RV 610, was composed for soloists, four-part choir, oboes, and string orchestra; however, in the final 1739 version, five arias were substituted to be sung by the girls of the Ospedale della Pietà orphanage, making it an 11-movement work of about 20 minutes.

Johann Sebastian Bach, a German Baroque composer, also wrote a sacred work of the same name, which is likewise famous—so it’s worth listening to them side by side.
