''[[The Four Seasons (Vivaldi)|The Four Seasons]]'', a series of four [[violin]] [[concerto|concerti]], is his best-known work and a highly popular [[Baroque]] piece. ==Biography== ===Youth=== [[Image:San Giovanni Battista in Bragora Venezia.jpg|200px|right|thumb|The church where Vivaldi was baptized: Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista in Bragora, Sestiere di Castello, Venice.]] Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was born in [[Venice]], the capital of the [[Republic of Venice]]. He was [[baptized]] immediately at his home by the midwife. It is not known how the life of the infant was in danger, but the immediate baptism was most likely due to his poor health or to an earthquake that shook the city that day. Vivaldi's official church baptism (at least, the rites that remained other than the actual baptism itself) did not take place until two months later. His father, Giovanni Battista, a [[barber]] before becoming a professional [[violinist]], taught him to play violin and then toured Venice playing the violin with his young son. Giovanni Battista was one of the founders of the ''Sovvegno dei musicisti di Santa Cecilia'', a sort of trade union for musicians and composers. The president of the association was [[Giovanni Legrenzi]], the ''maestro di cappella'' at [[St. Mark's Basilica]] and noted early Baroque composer. It is possible that the young Antonio's first lessons in composition were imparted by him. The Luxembourg scholar Walter Kolneder sees in the early liturgical work ''Laetatus sum'' ([[Ryom Verzeichnis|RV]] Anh 31, written in 1691 at the age of 13) the influence of Legrenzi's style. His father may have been a composer himself: in 1688, an opera titled ''La Fedeltà sfortunata'' was composed by a Giovanni Battista Rossi, and this was the name under which Vivaldi's father had joined the Sovvegno di Santa Cecilia ("Rossi" for "Red", because of the colour of his hair, a family trait). Vivaldi had a medical problem that he called the ''tightening of the chest'' (probably some form of [[asthma]]). His medical problem, however, did not prevent him from learning to play the violin, composing, or taking part in many musical activities. However, he could not play wind instruments due to his lack of breath. At the age of 15 in the year of 1693, he began studying to become a [[priest]]. In 1703, at the age of 25, Vivaldi was ordained a priest and was soon nicknamed ''il Prete Rosso'', "The Red Priest", probably because of his red hair. Not long after his ordination, in 1704, he was given a reprieve from celebrating the [[Holy Mass]] because of his ill health. From that point onward, he appears to have withdrawn from active practice, but did remain a priest. ===At the ''Ospedale della Pietà''=== In September [[1703]], Vivaldi became ''maestro di violino'' (master of violin) at an orphanage called the Pio [[Ospedale della Pietà]] (Devout Hospital of Mercy) in Venice.<ref>Michael Talbot, Grove online</ref> There were four such institutions in Venice; their purpose was to give shelter and education to children who were abandoned, orphaned, or whose families could not support them. They were financed by funds provided by the Republic. The boys learned a trade and had to leave at age 15. The girls received a musical education, and the most talented stayed and became members of the Ospedale's renowned orchestra and choir. Shortly after his appointment, the orphans began to gain appreciation and esteem abroad, too; Vivaldi wrote most of his concertos, cantatas, and sacred music for them. In 1704, the position of teacher of ''viola all'inglese'' was added to his duties as violin instructor. His relationship with the board of directors of the Ospedale was often strained. The board had to take a vote every year on whether to keep a teacher. The vote on Vivaldi was seldom unanimous, and in 1709, he lost his job after a 7 against 6 vote. After a year as a freelance musician, he was recalled by the Ospedale with a unanimous vote in 1711; clearly the board had realized the importance of his role by then. In 1713, he became responsible for the musical activity of the institute. Vivaldi was promoted to ''maestro di' concerti'' (music director) in 1716. It was during these years that Vivaldi wrote much of his music, including many operas and concerti. In 1705, the first collection (''Raccolta'') of his works was published: his Opus 1 is a collection of 12 sonatas for two violins and basso continuo, still in a conventional style. In 1709, a second collection of 12 sonatas for violin & basso continuo appeared (Opus 2). The real breakthrough came with his first collection of 12 concerti for one, two, and four violins with strings, ''[[L'estro Armonico|L'estro armonico]]'' (Opus 3), which was published in Amsterdam in 1711 by [[Estienne Roger]]. This was a resounding success all over Europe, and was followed in 1714 by ''[[La stravaganza]]'' (Opus 4), a collection of concerti for solo violin and strings. In February 1711, Vivaldi and his father went to [[Brescia]], where his setting of the [[Stabat Mater]] (RV 621) was played as part of a religious festival. The work seems to have been written in haste: the string parts are simple, the music of the first three movements is repeated in the next three, and not all the text is set. However, and in part as a consequence of the forced essentiality of the music, the work reveals musical and emotional depth and is one of his early masterpieces. In 1718, Vivaldi began to travel. Despite his frequent travels, the Pietà paid him to write two concerti a month for the orchestra and to rehearse with them at least five times when in Venice. The Pietà's records show that he was paid for 140 concerti between 1723 and 1733. ===Opera impresario=== [[image:Vivaldis first edition of Juditha triumphnas.jpg|200px|right|thumb|First edition of ''Juditha triumphans'' and is described as his first great oratorio.<ref name="Baroque music">[http://www.baroquemusic.org/bqxvivaldi.html Baroque Music] ''As far as his theatrical activities were concerned, the end of 1716 was a high point for Vivaldi. In November, he managed to have the Ospedale della Pietà perform his first great oratorio, Juditha Triumphans devicta Holofernis barbaric. [''[[sic]]''] This work was an allegorical description of the victory of the Venetians over the Turks in August 1716.''</ref>]] In the Venice of the early 18th century, [[opera]] was the most popular musical entertainment and the most profitable for the composer. There were several theaters competing for the public attention. Vivaldi started his career as opera writer in undertone: his first opera, ''[[Ottone in villa]]'' (RV 729) was performed not in Venice, but at the Garzerie theater in [[Vicenza]] in 1713. The following year, Vivaldi made the jump to Venice and became the [[impresario]] of the theater [[Teatro Sant'Angelo|Sant'Angelo]] in Venice, where his opera ''[[Orlando finto pazzo]]'' (RV 727) was performed. However, the work did not meet the public's taste, and Vivaldi had to close it after a couple of weeks and replace it with a rerun of a different work already given the previous year. In 1715, he presented ''[[Nerone fatto Cesare]]'' (RV 724, lost), with music by seven different composers, of which he was the leader, with eleven [[aria]]s. This time it was a success, and in the late season, Vivaldi planned to give an opera completely of his own hand, ''[[Arsilda regina di Ponto]]'' (RV 700). However, the state censor blocked the performance, objecting to the plot: the main character, Arsilda, falls in love with another woman, Lisea, who is pretending to be a man. Vivaldi managed to get the opera through censorship the following year, and it was eventually performed to a resounding success. In this same period of time, the ''Pietà'' commissioned several liturgical works. The most important were two [[oratorio]]s. The first, ''[[Moyses Deus Pharaonis]]'', (RV 643) is lost. The second, ''[[Juditha triumphans]]'' (RV 644), composed in 1716, is one of his sacred masterpieces. It was commissioned to celebrate the victory of the Republic of Venice against the Turks and the recapture of the island of [[Corfù]]. All eleven singing parts were performed by girls of the Pietà, both for the female and male characters. Many of the arias included parts by solo instruments&mdash;recorders, oboes, clarinets, violas d'amore, and mandolins&mdash;that showcased the range of talents of the girls. In the same year, 1716, Vivaldi wrote and produced two more operas, ''[[L'incoronazione di Dario]]'' (RV 719) and ''[[La costanza trionfante degli amori e degli odi]]'' (RV 706). The latter was so popular that it was re-edited and represented two years later with the title ''Artabano re dei Parti'' (RV 701, lost) and was eventually performed in [[Prague]] in 1732. In the following years, Vivaldi wrote several operas that were performed all over Italy. His modern operatic style caused him some trouble with other more conservative musicians, like [[Benedetto Marcello]], a magistrate and amateur musician who wrote a [[pamphlet]] denouncing him and the modern style of opera. The pamphlet is called ''[[Il teatro alla moda]]'', and its cover has a [[caricature]] of Vivaldi playing the violin. The Marcello family was the rightful owner of the Sant'Angelo theater, and a long legal battle had been fought with the management for its restitution, without success. The booklet attacks Vivaldi without mentioning him directly. The cover drawing shows a boat (the Sant'Angelo), on the left end of which stands a little angel wearing a priest's hat and playing the violin. It is a caricature of Vivaldi. The obscure writing under the picture mentions nonexistent places and names. In particular, ''ALDIVIVA'' is an anagram of ''A. Vivaldi''. ===His middle years=== [[Image:Vivaldi caricature.png|right|thumb|150px|Caricature by P.L.Ghezzi, Rome (1723)]] In 1717 or 1718, Vivaldi was offered a new prestigious position as ''Maestro di Cappella'' of the court of the prince Phillip of [[Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt|Hesse-Darmstadt]], governor of [[Mantua]]. He moved there for three years and produced several operas, among which was [[Tito Manlio]] (RV 738). In 1721, he was in [[Milan]], presenting the pastoral drama ''La Silvia'' (RV 734, lost) and again the next year with the oratorio ''L'adorazione delli tre re magi al bambino Gesù'' (RV 645, also lost). The next big step was a move to [[Rome]] in 1722, where his operas introduced the new style and where the new pope [[Benedict XIII]] invited Vivaldi to play for him. In 1725, he returned to Venice, where he produced four operas in the same year. It is also in this period that he wrote the ''[[Four Seasons (Vivaldi)|Four Seasons]]'', four violin concertos depicting natural scenes in music. While three of the concerti are of original conception, the first, "Spring", borrows motifs from a Sinfonia in the first act of his opera "[[Il Giustino]]," composed at the same time as The Four Seasons. The inspiration for them was probably the countryside around Mantua. They were a revolution in musical conception: in them Vivaldi represented flowing creeks, singing birds (of different species, each specifically characterised), barking dogs, buzzing mosquitoes, crying shepherds, storms, drunken dancers, silent nights, hunting parties (both from the hunter's and the prey's point of view), frozen landscapes, children ice-skating, and burning fires. Each concerto was associated with a [[sonnet]] of Vivaldi's hand, describing the scenes depicted in the music. They were published as the first four of a collection of twelve, ''[[Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione]]'', his Opus 8, published in Amsterdam by [[Le Cène]] in 1725. During his time in Mantua Vivaldi became acquainted with an aspiring young singer, Anna Tessieri Giro, who was to become his student, protégée, and favorite prima donna. Anna, along with her older half-sister Paolina, became part of Vivaldi's entourage and regularly accompanied him on his many travels. There was speculation about the nature of Vivaldi's and Giro's relationship, but no evidence to indicate anything beyond friendship and professional collaboration. ===Late life and death=== At the height of his career, Vivaldi received commissions from European nobles and royalty. The wedding cantata ''Gloria e Imeneo'' (RV 687) was written for the marriage of [[Louis XV of France|Louis XV]]. Opus 9, ''[[La Cetra]]'', was dedicated to [[Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor]] [[Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles VI]]. In 1728, Vivaldi had the chance to meet the Emperor in person when he came to [[Trieste]] to oversee the construction of a new port. Charles admired the music of the Red Priest so much that he is said to have spoken more with the composer in that occasion than with his ministers in two years. He gave him the title of [[knight]], a gold medal, and an invitation to come to [[Vienna]]. On his part, Vivaldi gave Charles a manuscript copy of ''La Cetra''; this is a set of concerti almost completely different from the one published with the same title as Opus 9. Probably the printing had been delayed and Vivaldi was forced to gather an improvised collection. [[Image:Teatro alla moda.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Frontispiece of ''Il teatro alla moda'']] In 1730, accompanied by his father, he traveled to Vienna and Prague, where his opera ''[[Farnace]]'' (RV 711) was presented. Some late operas marked the collaboration with two of Italy's major writers of the time. ''[[L'Olimpiade]]'' and ''[[Catone in Utica]]'' were written by [[Pietro Metastasio]], the major representative of the [[Academy of Arcadia|Arcadian]] movement and court poet in Vienna. ''[[La Griselda]]'' was rewritten by the young [[Carlo Goldoni]] from an earlier libretto by [[Apostolo Zeno]]. Vivaldi's life, like those of many composers of the time, ended in financial difficulties. His compositions no longer held the high esteem they once did in Venice; changing musical tastes quickly made them outmoded, and Vivaldi, in response, chose to sell off sizeable numbers of his manuscripts at paltry prices to finance a migration to [[Vienna]]. The reasons for Vivaldi's departure from Venice are unclear, but it seems likely that he wished to meet Charles VI, who appreciated his compositions (Vivaldi dedicated ''La Cetra'' to Charles in 1727), and take up the position of a composer in the Imperial Court. It is ever more likely that Vivaldi went to Vienna to stage operas, especially as his place of residence was near the [[Kärntnertortheater]]. However, shortly after Vivaldi's arrival at Vienna, Charles died. This tragic stroke of bad luck left the composer without royal protection and a source of income. Vivaldi eventually died not long after, on the night between [[27 July|27]] and [[28 July]], [[1741]] <ref name="day_of_death">Talbot (pg.69) gives the 27th as the day of death. Formichetti (pg.194) reports that he died during the night and his death was the first registered on the next day. Heller (pg.263) states: "The composer’s death is noted in the official coroner’s report and in the burial account book of St. Stephen’s Cathedral Parish as having occurred on 28 July 1741". But the so-called ''Totenbeschauprotokoll'' is no reliable source, since the date can always refer to the entry, not to the actual time of death.</ref>, of ''internal infection'' in a house owned by the widow of a Viennese saddlemaker. On [[28 July]] he was buried in a simple grave at the Hospital Burial Ground in Vienna (the assumption that the young [[Joseph Haydn]] sang in the choir at Vivaldi's burial was based on the mistranscription of a primary source and has been proven wrong). Contrary to popular assumptions, no evidence exists regarding Vivaldi's having been buried as a pauper.<ref>This misunderstanding seem to have been caused by Alan Kendall's biography of Vivaldi. Kendall mistakenly thought that a "Kleingleuth" amounted to a pauper's burial. But Vivaldi's burial cost 19 fl 45 x. See Kendall, ''Vivaldi'', (London: Chappell & Co, 1978), p. 92. In his new Haydn biography (Vienna 2007) Hans-Josef Irmen again claims that "Pohl and others affirm Haydn's singing at Vivaldi's consecration". Pohl, who didn't even know that Vivaldi had died in Vienna, gives no such information.</ref> His burial spot is next to the [[Karlskirche]] in Vienna, at the site of the [[Technical Institute]]. The house he lived in while in Vienna was torn down. In part of its place there is now the Hotel Sacher. Memorial plaques have been placed at both locations, as well as a Vivaldi ''star'' in the Viennese Musikmeile and a monument at the Rooseveltplatz. ==Style and influence== Many of Vivaldi's compositions reflect a flamboyant, almost playful, exuberance. Most of Vivaldi's repertoire was rediscovered only in the first half of the 20th century in [[Turin]] and [[Genoa]] and was published in the second half. Vivaldi's music is innovative, breaking a consolidated tradition in schemes; he gave brightness to the formal and the rhythmic structure of the concerto, repeatedly looking for [[harmonic]] contrasts and innovative melodies and themes. Moreover, Vivaldi was able to compose nonacademic music, particularly meant to be appreciated by the wide public and not only by an intellectual minority. The joyful appearance of his music reveals in this regard a transmissible joy of composing; these are among the causes of the vast popularity of his music. This popularity soon made him famous in other countries such as [[France]] which was, at the time, very independent concerning its musical taste. Vivaldi is considered one of the composers who brought Baroque music (with its typical contrast among heavy sonorities) to evolve into a classical style. [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] was deeply influenced by Vivaldi's concertos and arias (recalled in his ''[[Johannes Passion]]'', ''[[Matthäuspassion]]'', and [[cantata]]s). Bach transcribed a number of Vivaldi's concerti for solo keyboard, along with a number for orchestra, including the famous ''Concerto for Four Violins and Violoncello, Strings and Continuo'' ([[Ryom Verzeichnis|RV]] 580). ==Posthumous reputation== Vivaldi remained unknown for his published concerti, and largely ignored, even after the resurgence of interest in Bach, pioneered by [[Felix Mendelssohn|Mendelssohn]]. Even his most famous work, ''The Four Seasons'', was unknown in its original edition. In the early 20th century, [[Fritz Kreisler]]'s concerto in the style of Vivaldi, which he passed off as an original Vivaldi work, helped revive Vivaldi's reputation. This impelled the French scholar Marc Pincherle to begin academic work on Vivaldi's oeuvre. The discovery of many Vivaldi manuscripts and their acquisition by the National University of Turin Library (with the generous sponsorship of Roberto Foa and Filippo Giordano, in memory of their sons, respectively, Mauro and Renzo) led to renewed interest in Vivaldi. People such as [[Marc Pincherle]], [[Mario Rinaldi]], [[Alfredo Casella]], [[Ezra Pound]], [[Olga Rudge]], [[Arturo Toscanini]], and [[Louis Kaufman]] were instrumental in the Vivaldi revival of the 20th century. The resurrection of Vivaldi's unpublished works in the 20th century is mostly thanks to the efforts of [[Alfredo Casella]], who in 1939 organised the now historic ''Vivaldi Week'', in which the rediscovered [[Gloria (Vivaldi)|''Gloria'']] (RV 589) and ''l'Olimpiade'' were first heard again. Since World War II, Vivaldi's compositions have enjoyed almost universal success, and the advent of [[historically informed performance]]s has only increased his fame. In 1947, the Venetian businessman [[Antonio Fanna]] founded the [[Istituto Italiano Antonio Vivaldi]], with the composer [[Gian Francesco Malipiero]] as its artistic director, having the purpose of promoting Vivaldi's music and publishing new editions of his works. A movie titled ''Vivaldi, a Prince in Venice'' was completed in 2005 as an Italian-French coproduction under the direction of [[Jean-Louis Guillermou]], featuring [[Stefano Dionisi]] in the title role and [[Michel Serrault]] as the bishop of Venice. Another film inspired by the life of the composer was in a preproduction state for several years and has the working title ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469879/ Vivaldi]''. Filming was scheduled to begin in 2007, but was canceled and tentatively rescheduled for 2008.{{Fact|date=March 2008}} Vivaldi's music, together with that of [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]], [[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky|Tchaikovsky]], and [[Arcangelo Corelli|Corelli]], has been included in the theories of [[Alfred Tomatis]] on the effects of music on human behaviour and used in [[music therapy]]. His compositions include: * Over 500 [[concerti]]; approximately 350 of these are for solo instrument and strings, and of these about 230 are for violin; the others are for bassoon, cello, oboe, flute, viola d'amore, recorder, lute, and mandolin. Approximately 40 concerti are for two instruments and strings, and approximately 30 are for three or more instruments and strings. * 46 [[opera]]s * [[sinfonia]]s * 73 sonatas *[[chamber music]] (even if some sonatas for [[flute]], as ''Il Pastor Fido'', have been erroneously attributed to him, but were composed by [[Nicolas Chédeville|Chédeville]]). *[[sacred music]] * His most famous work is 1723's [[The Four Seasons (Vivaldi)|''Le Quattro Stagioni'' (The Four Seasons)]]. In essence, it resembled an early example of a [[tone poem]], where he attempted to capture all the moods of the four seasons without the use of [[percussion instrument|percussion]] to dramatize the effects he sought to portray. (See section above for more detailed description.) === 1926 and 1930 discoveries=== As one biography describes it:<ref>Antonio Vivaldi biography by Alexander Kuznetsov and Louise Thomas, a booklet attached to the CD "The best of Vivaldi", published and recorded by Madacy Entertainment Group Inc, St. Laurent Quebec Canada</ref> {{cquote|The fate of the Italian composer's legacy is unique. After the Napoleonic wars, it was thought that a large part of Vivaldi's work had been irrevocably lost. However, in the autumn of 1926, after a detectivelike search by researchers, 14 folios of Vivaldi's previously unknown religious and secular works were found in the library of a monastery in Piedmont. Some even- and odd-numbered volumes were missing, and so the search continued. Finally, in October 1930, the missing volumes were found to be with the descendants of the Grand Duke Durazzo, who had acquired the property as early as the eighteenth century. To its amazement, the world of music was presented with 300 concerts for various instruments and 18 operas, not counting a number of arias and more than 100 vocal-instrumental pieces. Such an impressive list of newly unearthed opuses warranted a re-evaluation of Vivaldi's creativity.}} === Recent discoveries === Recently, four sacred vocal works by Vivaldi have been discovered in the [[Saxon State Library]] in [[Dresden]]. These compositions were improperly attributed to [[Baldassare Galuppi]], a Venetian composer of the early classical period, mostly famous for his choral works. In the 1750s or 1760s, the [[Saxon court]] asked for some sacred works by Galuppi from the Venetian copyist [[Don Giuseppe Baldan]]. Baldan included, among authentic works by Galuppi, the four compositions by Vivaldi, passing them off as Galuppi's. He probably obtained the originals from two of Vivaldi's nephews, ([[Carlo Vivaldi]] and [[Daniele Mauro]]), who worked under him as copyists. The recognition of Vivaldi's authorship could be made by analyzing style and instrumentation and by recognizing arias from Vivaldi's operas. The two most recent among these discoveries are two [[psalm]] settings of ''Nisi Dominus'' (RV 803, in eight movements) and ''Dixit Dominus'' (RV 807, in eleven movements), identified in 2003 and 2005, respectively, by the Australian scholar [[Janice Stockigt]]. RV 803 was recorded for the first time in 2005 by the [[King's Consort]] under the direction of Robert King. The world premiere of any part of RV 807 took place on [[9 August]] [[2005]], at [[Melba Hall]], [[University of Melbourne]] <ref>Clive O'Connell, "A great discovery, on any score", review of the performance, ''[[The Age]]'', 10 August 2005</ref>. It was recorded in full for the first time in 2006 by the [[Dresdner Instrumental-Concert]] under the direction of [[Peter Kopp]]. Vivaldi scholar [[Michael Talbot (musicologist)|Michael Talbot]] called it "arguably the best nonoperatic work from Vivaldi's pen to come to light since... the 1920s".<ref>Michael Talbot, liner notes to the CD ''Vivaldi: Dixit Dominus'', Körnerscher Sing-Verein Dresden (Dresdner Instrumental-Concert), Peter Kopp, [[Deutsche Grammophone]] 2006.</ref> === ''Argippo'' === Vivaldi's [[opera]] ''Argippo'' (RV 697) premiered in the Palace of Count Spork, [[Prague]] in 1730. The libretto was preserved but the music was presumed to have been lost until portions of it (over two thirds) was discovered in the private archive of the [[Thurn und Taxis]] house in [[Regensburg]], in [[2006]] by harpsichordist and conductor [http://www.ckrumlov.cz/uk/autori/t_om.htm Ondřej Macek]. He stated: "I found out that in 1733, three years after the premiere, the Italian music ensemble appeared in [[Regensburg]].
