J.S. Bach:
Mass in G major, BWV 236

Handel:
Esther, HWV 50

Vivaldi:
Gloria in G major, RV 589

Vivaldi’s Gloria is one of sacred music’s most uplifting choral works and a joyful hymn of praise with moments ranging from festive brilliance to profound sadness. Composed in Venice, probably in 1715, for the choir of the Ospedale della Pieta, its wonderfully sunny nature and distinctive melodies and rhythms give it an immediate and universal appeal. Bach was a fierce admirer of Vivaldi’s work, and his extraordinarily inventive Mass in G major complements the Gloria perfectly.

In 2018 The Sixteen’s Orchestral tour featuring Vivaldi’s Gloria and Bach’s Mass in G major will visit 10 towns and cities across the UK including London, Lincoln, Worcester, Chichester and Guildford.
