Performance Notes
Antonio Vivaldi, considered one of the greatest composers of the late Baroque period, was
born in Venice Italy in 1678 and died there in 1741. He was nicknamed “The Red Priest”
because he was a Catholic priest with red hair. A virtuoso violinist, Vivaldi was a prolific composer of music ranging from chamber music to sacred choral works. Gloria, a twelve movement work, was composed in 1715. Domine Fili Unigenite, the seventh movement, follows
Domine Deus for soprano solo, and preceeds Domine Deus, Agnus Dei for alto solo and chorus.
The literal translation of Domine Fili Unigenite is: O Lord our Savior, only Son of God, Christ
Jesus. It is my feeling (and that of most editors and arrangers) that this work should only be
sung in the original Latin, and therefore there is no alternate English text in this music.

Originally for SATB voices and orchestra, this arrangement for SAB (Soprano, Alto, Baritone)
voices affords choirs of many sizes and abilities the opportunity to sing this great work. The
ranges for all voices, especially the baritone, do not extend beyond ease of singing. In addition,
the piano part has been simplified. This work should be sung with pure vowels and accented
attacks and phrases as dictated by the music to capture the excitement of the work. Realize all
text accents within the phrases. For example: Do-mi-ne, fi-li, Je-su, Chri-ste
A main characteristic of this piece, and of Baroque
is the dotted-eighth
sixœ Œ
b music,
œ œ .sixteenth
œ . note,
teenth note patterns. These should be sung as&an œeighth
rest and a
Do - mi - ne
sixteenth note for greater stylistic clarity. For example:

Should be sung:

In addition,
