      The memories this brings back to me, now in my older years. We sang this my freshman year in college. A few years later, i was a grad student where you are now, then called North Texas State University. Oh, to dial back the clock about 50 years.

    This is probably the first *serious* performance of this work that I've seen on CZcams. Every high school "top choir" and collegiate chorial union performs this, so I was expecting some "ok" background music while I work. But before I went to a different window, I saw some period instruments. Then I heard musical (not just technical) and *meaningful* use of dynamics. And I heard an engaged chorus in which each part was well-represented, functioned independently, and worked seamlessly. And the soloists held their own. I'm thoroughly impressed! Well done to all musicians and sound/video technicians involved in this production.

      Tx for your insights. I agree. Often disappointing performances but this one is very committed to the spirit of this great opus by the legendary Vivaldi; always complex, always astonishing these centuries later, & forever, I guess. That’s true immortality isn’t it? Look! You can see Vivaldi manifest in the performers as they play & sing. How extraordinary! I tried 4 before landing on this one. I suppose I’m a bit Eurocentric so tend to listen to the Germans, Italians, Dutch, Czech and so forth. But this one gets downloaded. ❤

      I currently attend UNT as a music major. There are whole degree paths for music of this time period. Literally a classroom which says "Early Music" and across the hallway, a recital space with a full size organ. Next door is the harpsichord room (I think one of the only schools in the USA that features harpsichord as a main concentration). This concert hall seen in the video also has a full pipe organ built into the walls. The students here are the real deal, there are some serious talents.

    An addendum to my first comment: this proves, beyond any doubt, that music is the universal language. No one could, in my opinion, sing a work like this and stay enemies with other singers. It recalls the words of that commercial so popular in the late
    '60's, "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony....it's the real thing. "

    What a WONDERFUL performance! I've only listened to the first 2 movements so far, but the choir can be heard clearly above the orchestra. Everyone knows their music and is together, including orchestra and choir, and you can hear the passion as expressed by changes in dynamics by the choral singers. I sing with a choir, and I can imagine the tremendous amount of preparation which went into this great performance.

    • @adonisfridolin4773

    • @christiewagner3995
      @christiewagner3995 Před 5 měsíci

      @AdonisFridplin: "Simple piece of music" you say. And how many times professional orchestras butcher a "simple piece of music", rendering it blah and without dynamic variations. Give credit to the conductor. And the female soloist is excellent, as are her smooth trills--I've heard so-called professionals deliver ghastly trills. The choir is great, too--none ofcthe voice parts overpower each other nor does any individual voice stick out. The orchestra is excellent, too.
      Everybody is just a kid yet they all outshine many so-called "pros". I wish them all great, longlasting careers in music should they wish to make music their lives.
      At the very least I hope none of them ever stop playing for their enjoyment and continue to jam with other musicians and maybe participate in a concert from time to time.

      While I agree the conductor is pretty mundane, a lot of times in "early" music you see the conductor not doing much because historically the harpsichordist would have been the one conducting. Intact, this tradition was still in effect during the performances of Haydn's piano concertos. Today, we want conductors, so to split the difference between modern and historic performance practice, the conductor will opt to show few romantic gestures and instead let the "baroque" musicians interpret the music themselves.

    When I attended Tarrant County College (Northwest campus) we teamed up with the Northeast and South campus choirs to perform this. It was awesome. This arrangement had a profound effect on the history of music as it pertained to how the church viewed it. ETA: Since then, this has been my favorite of all the Glorias. As beautiful as it is to hear, it even more fun to perform.

    A wonderful polished performance given on a high pofessional level by COLLEGE STUDENTS in Denton Texas. If this can happen in the United States today, we are not in NEARLY as bad shape as too many would have us believe. The conductor, Richard Sparks, deserves a great deal of credit, for he has taught the young choristers to sing not only with accuracy and vigorous enthusiasm, but also with great sensitivity to the MEANING of the text.As for the SOLOISTS, we could never hope to hear anyone better equipped to "deliver the goods" than these remarkably gifted, well-trained, BEAUTIFUL young women.

      You can sing in a choir essentially until you die. One of our Tenors finally quit at age 90! And there are many choirs of every level, for every age group (or all ages in one choir) and for every music style (from Baroque to Rock, literally!) you can choose from, depending where you live. So, if you wish to sing, join a choir today! If you believe your voice has gotten "rusty": If you've got some experience you'll be fine after a few weeks of singing regularly.

I have come to appreciate the Baroque practice for string playing string music with less vibrato. When I hear Baroque performances with extreme vibrato, it makes me ill to have the beautiful melodies distorted so much. I also appreciate that in the training of singers.
