....Vivaldi's Gloria.
Finally on the last day, a grand finale as it were, I want to share this beautiful classical Christmas piece with you. When I say Classical Christmas music, most, I believe, think of Handel's Messiah.
But everyone knows about Messiah; not so this one. I didn't even know until a few weeks ago that my mother had actually played violin and sung tenor in this piece when her high school performed the entire piece. That was exciting to learn.
This is sung entirely by women; even those low parts which sound like they are sung by men!
There are twelve parts, all sung in Latin. I have posted them below with their English Translations.
I know this is a long piece but please do make some time to listen to this before Christmas, you will not be dissapointed. It is absolutely magnificant! There will be a pause between each movement so you will be able to tell the breaks. Notice the words: Starting with the angel's praise to God when they visited the Shepards, it goes through quoting passages of Scripture about Christ.
Have a God Honoring Christmas whether you celebrate it or not!
And may "god bless us, every one!"
