Vivaldi Gloria
Gloria is one of the most popular and joyous choral favourites. Composed by Vivaldi, the “Red Priest” sometime in the early 1700s for girls from the Ospedale della Pieta in Venice, the music was sadly lost until the 1920s when it was found under a pile of Vivaldi’s manuscripts. The original manuscript wasn’t published until 1957 since when it has become a perennial favourite. Gloria’s simple settings with distinctive melodies and dancing rhythms make for an ideal relaxing “Come and Sing” that will have you humming along for days!
Ayr Choral’s dynamic Musical Director Andrew McTaggart, who has invigorated the choir through the last 19 months in various online events, will lead the afternoon’s singing, accompanied by Andrew Forbes, Director of Music at Glasgow Cathedral. The “sing through” will feature soloists from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Sadly due to limited space and restricted seating arrangements, there will be no audience. Singers will require to be masked within the church environment, but will be spaced widely, allowing masks to be removed when singing. A detailed risk assessment and guidance will be sent to all those applying, and updated as necessary. Parking is readily available near the church.
