Vivaldi - Juditha Triumphans "Agitata infido flatu" M Kožená.

Antonio VIVALDI (1678 - 1741) Juditha Triumphans RV644 (I, 19) (1716) Agitata infidu flatu Aria of Juditha for alto, strings and continuo Score: icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Vivaldi.php Text: Giacomo Cassetti Aria extract from the recording with: Magdalena Kožená, mezzo-soprano, Juditha Maria José Trullu, contralto, Holofernes Marina Comparato, soprano, Vagaus Anke Herrman, mezzo-soprano, Abra Tiziana Carraro, mezzo-soprano, Ozias Academia Montis Regalis Chamber Choir of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia. Conductor: Alessandro de Marchi Recording in October 2000, Instituto de Musica Antica Academia Montis Regalis, Mondovi, Italy. This oratorio, labelled a "sacrum militare oratorium," was composed in Venice in 1716, and is the only one of four composed by Vivaldi to survive. Written, of course, when the "red priest" was in charge of music at the girls' orphanage of Ospedale della Pietà, it is a remarkable testimony to the wealth of talent and training available in this large institution. To recreate the impact of the first Pietà performance for this recording, women sing all the roles along with an all-woman chorus. It uses the story of the Judith from the Old Testament and her victory over the forces of King Nebuchadnezzar. In telling this story, Vivaldi structured the work for maximum dramatic impact and this comes closer to the spirit of opera than other baroque oratorios. Juditha: Agitata infido fatu Diu volatu Vagabundo Maesta hirundo It plorando Boni ignara. Sed impulsu aurae serenae Tantae cito oblita poenae In dilecta Dulcia tecta Gaudii ridet haud avara.
