Um, Italian Baroque composer who lived in Venice; specialized in concerti (especially violin), opera, and religious works?

Love Vivaldi- who doesn't like the Four Seasons? Did anyone mention the fact that he was a priest?

"Rain" - I could sing this a hundred times a day and never get tired of it (yesh, I sing opera).

I also like the Summer: Presto movement; makes me think of summer on its hottest days.

Nulla in Mundo Pax Sincero- the best sacred song written ever and I can actually sing it.
He wasn't just a priest, he was a red haired priest who was in a cloister for girls and taught them all music, including organ and violin.

Spring has to be his most famous work.

Final movement of the Gloria is my personal, bass man favorite.

Vivaldi is like a natural high for me. Something about the baroque sequence produces a feeling of ecstasy and bliss in me, and Vivaldi used them a lot. Maybe he was a sequence junkie, too. I sometimes listen to the same work twenty times in a row if filled with sequences. Bach used them, but Bach always used them at the perfect time and his climatic parts were always topped off with an explosive sequence.

I could do the same thing with 'Gloria'

What's your range?

Really? I thought the best bass/cello was in the eight movement. It's like they're answering the soloist.

 

[Christian Sojourner]

Something about the Baroque sequence does something to me. It releases something in the brain that I find extremely pleasing. Vivaldi used them A LOT. So his music is like a drug to me.

Started with Four Seasons, then discovered the recorder concertos, then Listening to Scarlatti Harpsichord stuff got me to listening to Vivaldi's other works. Great composer!
