ISTITUTO ITALIANO ANTONIO VIVALDI ANTONIO VIVALDI SALVE REGINA PER CONTRALTO E 2 ORCHESTRE RICORDI INTRODUCTION The « Salve Regina ad Alto Solo Con Violini, e Flauti ¢ Traversier in due Cori Del Vivaldi » (Salve Regina, for solo contralto with violins, flute, transverse flute in double chorus by Vivaldi) is the second work written by the Venetian coniposer on the text of the prayer attributed to Peter of Campostela and contained in the tvell-known collection of the National Library of Turin (catalogue number: Giordano 35, cc. 145r - 1620). This is a work of fairly big structure, based — as many sacred pieces by Vivaldi — on a manifest attention 10 spiritual and technical details, the latter being expressed through a sensitive choice of the vocal and instrumental means used in the composition, Consequently, a double « chorus » of strings with continuo is added to the solo voice, the first string orchestra being enriched by the two flutes. This is yet another example of Vivaldi’s predilection for antiphony, which he so often displayed in his church music, though in this patticular work the ellect is purely instrumental, the second orchestra having mainly the function of «echo ». This instrumental antiphony is employed in four of the six sections in which the work is divided. This treatment gives each section a rich tonal individuality, together with a touch of grandeur but without pomposity. Quite different in structure are the third and fourth sections. Ad te suspitamus (Larghetto) reaches the climax of lyric tenderness of the whole work: full prominence is given to the solo voice, accompanied by the solo flute spinning one of those long and shapely melodic lines which are typical of Vivaldi end which so closely remind us of Bach, Eja ergo (Allegro) combines together the two string ensembles in vigorous and strongly rhythmic discourse. In this work we find once more the perfect unity of style through the various aspects of the Vivaldian creative mind which is so typical of the composer's sacred music. The elements of concerto, church music and opera are welded together in an extremely coherent and efficient synthesis of bis idiom. The treatment of the voice is not as varied as elsewhere: bere Vivaldi has obviously preferred mellow lyricism to. contrast. The solo singer appears in the same vein in the Ex'Jesum (Andante molto) and in the O clemens (Andante), whilst a more instrumental character is given to the vocal part of the Ad te clamamus (Allegro) and in above-mentioned Fja ergo. Some slightly virtuoso passages occur in the first section, Salve Regina (Andante). According to the typographic custome adopted for Vivaldian editions, all that is not in the original manuscript is printed in brackets even when it appears implicit. From the figured bass of the continuo we have derived, in the ripieni, the ’cellos and doublebasses paris — which were missing in the manuscript — according to musical and technical criteria, The part of the basso continuo bas been written down in smaller notes. Failing specific indication in the original, the organ bas been chosen as keyboard instrument Soli Contralto (C.) Orchestra Coxo I Flauti I - 1 (Fl.)
