I asked my family to have this played when they carry my body out of the church following my funeral. I want people to feel joy when I have entered the Kingdom of God!
¡Muy buena elección! Dejarás tu cuerpo, e ingresarás al reino de los cielos entre esta hermosa melodía. ¡Felicitaciones! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
today is Jan 5, 2024. I am listening now to your performance. My deepest gratitude.
This is probably the first *serious* performance of this work that I've seen on UA-cam. Every high school "top choir" and collegiate chorial union performs this, so I was expecting some "ok" background music while I work. But before I went to a different window, I saw some period instruments. Then I heard musical (not just technical) and *meaningful* use of dynamics. And I heard an engaged chorus in which each part was well-represented, functioned independently, and worked seamlessly. And the soloists held their own. I'm thoroughly impressed! Well done to all musicians and sound/video technicians involved in this production.
Tx for your insights. I agree. Often disappointing performances but this one is very committed to the spirit of this great opus by the legendary Vivaldi; always complex, always astonishing these centuries later, & forever, I guess. That’s true immortality isn’t it? Look! You can see Vivaldi manifest in the performers as they play & sing. How extraordinary! I tried 4 before landing on this one. I suppose I’m a bit Eurocentric so tend to listen to the Germans, Italians, Dutch, Czech and so forth. But this one gets downloaded. ❤
Beautifully said as well as perfectly orchestrated!
It’s good to see college “kids?” doing something this diificult with their time and talent. The practice time that each of these students must commit to is an exceptional discipline.
They are both inspired and inspiring.
I currently attend UNT as a music major. There are whole degree paths for music of this time period. Literally a classroom which says "Early Music" and across the hallway, a recital space with a full size organ. Next door is the harpsichord room (I think one of the only schools in the USA that features harpsichord as a main concentration). This concert hall seen in the video also has a full pipe organ built into the walls. The students here are the real deal, there are some serious talents.
Thank you UNT and UA-cam for presenting superb musical interludes that I as an impoverished pensioner, would never otherwise afford to hear. It lifts my spirits.
Happy that we could do that!
We are glad to be in a position to share the music created by our students to a global audience at not cost to the viewer/listener.
The memories this brings back to me, now in my older years. We sang this my freshman year in college. A few years later, i was a grad student where you are now, then called North Texas State University. Oh, to dial back the clock about 50 years.
If you ever doubt the existence of heaven then listen to music like this and you have to realize that there is a place higher and loftier than here to be worthy of it.
There is more English people now living in USA than UK if you take 3rd 4th generation English to account. Not Irish or Scotish british English. So never be suprised what comes out of that great country that the anglosaxon built with a little help with their friends.. lol
Max C amen!!
I can't doubt heaven's existence because I was allowed to visit. It's unforgettable.
@@PETERJOHN101 I'd love to hear it.
Emotional response’s are proof of the supernatural? Hilarious.
An addendum to my first comment: this proves, beyond any doubt, that music is the universal language. No one could, in my opinion, sing a work like this and stay enemies with other singers. It recalls the words of that commercial so popular in the late
'60's, "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony....it's the real thing. "
Vivaldi outdid himself in this piece. And this performance is spectacular and brilliant. The soloists sang so beautifully I could hardly stand it. Definitely the best performance of this marvellous piece I've ever heard. Bravo!
Listen to Juditha Triumphants , Vivaldi had so much to offer , sadly not all his compositions are found yet
Ascoltare Vivaldi,magistralmente eseguito da giovani Nord Americani e una grande emozione per un Italiano!!!
Anche noi in Brasile
This is the performance of the Gloria I listen to over and over on UA-cam.
Whenever I see Vivaldi, I want to click on it. Fine performance, and as a 61 yr old man in this day in age, it's very refreshing to see a group of fine looking youth.
I sang this back in 1985, or 1986, my Junior year of High School!
Now, I am 51, and I still remember how to sing it!
Amen!
I watched my 24 year old perform it as a senior in High school 7 years ago (violin), and my youngest perform it last night (soprano)....Brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to this. What a maestro Vivaldi was.
I performed it as a Junior in High School , don't know, seems like we took it a little slower, but that was a long time ago.
Brilliant !!! Thank you !!!
Congratulations to your family of musicians! Do you sing?
@@conniepruitt3086 Yeah, it was quite spirited.

The UNT School of Music is ranked second in the nation after Juilliard. This is a good example of why!
BELLISSIMA QUESTA ESECUZIONE DEL GLORIA ..
MAGNIFICO CORO !

It warms my heart to hear this wonderful music being played by young people.
So beautiful!
Thank you so much Lord today again specially!

Thank you so much for sharing today again!
God bless all!
God bless AMERICA!
Vivaldi Fans:
Let us do THREE MILLION views! Fantastic Performance!
UPDATE: This video has reached THREE MILLION views! Congratulations UNT!
This video. Is currently at 2.9 MILLION views and will soon reach THREE MILLION.
Bravo not only to the conductor and musicians, but to the audio/video team as well. They did an excellent job and truly have allowed the music to shine through, with nice balance and tone. Great performance with great recording skills.
You put into words exactly what I was thinking. Many sound engineers are clueless as to how to record a well-blended choir such as this one. But this team truly got is right.
Absolutely
My Son is a very experienced sound recording engineer/producer,and has recorded many projects such as this,it takes a lot of skill to capture a balance of various sounds and timbres in a cathedral setting,taking natural accoustics into account,and I am pleased that the engineering team have been given credit here, by Brad Zabelski,most often the audio is criticised by unqualified know-alls!
This performance is worthy of the skills of all concerned in the making of the project!
Cheers Brad,and those who have replied in a very sensible and positive manner!

4 year old conductor
Vagner Morais gloria van vivaldi
While I agree the conductor is pretty mundane, a lot of times in "early" music you see the conductor not doing much because historically the harpsichordist would have been the one conducting. Intact, this tradition was still in effect during the performances of Haydn's piano concertos. Today, we want conductors, so to split the difference between modern and historic performance practice, the conductor will opt to show few romantic gestures and instead let the "baroque" musicians interpret the music themselves.
But oh gosh yeah, it's bad :)

When I hear that song I feel that I'm in heaven listening to the angels sing. Just love it
Glorious music, thank you, Vivaldi.
Thank you to the School of Music at North Texas State, Denton who still inculcates such beauty in the souls of young people. Bravo!
What a WONDERFUL performance! I've only listened to the first 2 movements so far, but the choir can be heard clearly above the orchestra. Everyone knows their music and is together, including orchestra and choir, and you can hear the passion as expressed by changes in dynamics by the choral singers. I sing with a choir, and I can imagine the tremendous amount of preparation which went into this great performance.
Not very much, because its a simple piece of music and quiet easy to sing for such a choir...
@AdonisFridplin: "Simple piece of music" you say. And how many times professional orchestras butcher a "simple piece of music", rendering it blah and without dynamic variations. Give credit to the conductor. And the female soloist is excellent, as are her smooth trills--I've heard so-called professionals deliver ghastly trills. The choir is great, too--none ofcthe voice parts overpower each other nor does any individual voice stick out. The orchestra is excellent, too.
Everybody is just a kid yet they all outshine many so-called "pros". I wish them all great, longlasting careers in music should they wish to make music their lives.
At the very least I hope none of them ever stop playing for their enjoyment and continue to jam with other musicians and maybe participate in a concert from time to time.
Vivaldi siempre maravilloso, vibrante, tenue, melancólico, diferente, pero siempre cercano al corazón con su inigualable música.
The ending of Et in Terra pax is some of the most beautiful harmonies I've ever heard.
Agreed. I first loved the opening, but Et in Terra Pax is much more complex, subtle and beautiful.
We attempted this in High school, it still brings tears to my eyes.

One of the best Glorias I've heard. Richard is a fabulous conductor.
With young singers and musicians like these there is a fine future ahead. A very beautiful rendition of a Vivaldi that is not that easy to perform: mes compliments !
Many of these singers are now directors of choral activities at universities in every corner of the nation. :)

Music transcends language.
This is the best rendition of Vivaldi’s Gloria I have ever heard! Bravo! Magnificent!
Le cantanti. Ce la mettono tutta ma non hanno VOCE. Meglio il coro

my favorite Gloria online
Great interpretation. The soloists are amazingly talented! LOVE the alto at 17:07!
we did this in high school with an 80 voice choir---made your whole body vibrate!--shout out to miss davis for teaching us so well!
Absolutely beautiful! The Gloria is such an amazing prayer, and together with this musical setting by Vivaldi, two great things are brought together!
Merveilleux ,de revivre ce Gloria de Vivaldi si porteur de SENS en cette période de troubles ... Merci à vous , les artistes musiciens , si bien orchestrés ... Une si belle osmose et une si belle harmonie qui vient illuminer cette journée !!
Actually one of the best performances of this piece in youtube!! I love the sound of the choir!! Beautiful :)
Vivaldi che grande musica ci lasciasti. Immortale tra i geni musicali.
Absolutely beautiful, inspiring, uplifting - by this or any other group- Vivaldi - a MASTER MUSICIAN!
Vivaldi was the Master !
Wow! The way the choir just blends! Some beautiful harmonies shimmering there. Great form!
My favorite of the glorias. Played it over over and over again when my son was born
I have heard and seen many performances of Gloria. But this one is by far the best Congratulations from The Netherlands
Lovely to hear from you. Wish we were still in the union with you enjoying this incredible music .
La migliore esecuzione..?
Esagerato
Sing for heaven is
yours.
Thank you so much Lord today again !

Vivaldi holding true to his girls' orphanage roots--the soloists are so exquisite in voice, tone, and grace! Stunning.
I am no expert, but this heavenly prayer is doing something good to my soul.

WONDER FULL......nice comment...changed my day.
@@henryhertzhobbit4343 Yes, true. Yet the Holy Spirit in it speaks a universal language. ;)
Bruce Scott, yes. The sounds of Heaven breathed in human forms touches the human soul.
And to my soul too!
Was going to watch Netflix but came here instead!
Music from heaven!!!
That’s a good choice!! Best regards from Barcelona!!
Perfect pace.not too fast nor too slow.having the perfect pace brings out the dramatic mood vivaldi is trying to capture and the imense outerwordly beauty of this piece by vivaldi.exceptionally beautiful.
I don't know why other renditions are done so fast. I know it's marked allegro, but it sounds so much better at around 120-125 bpm.
Who would have thought that out of the windswept hills and plains of North Texas such a magnificent whirlwind of music would take flight. Congratulations to Richard Sparks and all of you: countless thousands of us will be enjoying this for a long time to come. I think the red priest would approve.
Kudos for the orchestra, the choirs, and especially the conductor who brought them together. This is an excellent performance of Vivaldi's Gloria. Congratulations to all!!!!!
Forever and ever I watch this wonderful video! Thank you!
Such a great performance! So balanced and harmonious, wonderful soloists with a rich and special voice. I wanted to thank you for this gift you gave us, I'm listening to it every night before I fall asleep and every time I admire you again. Thank you Thank you Thank you University of North Texas College of Music, for this precious gift!
Listening to this from South Africa 🇿🇦. Absolutely beautiful and awe inspiring, warms the heart and spirit in a world gone mad.....Covid 19 , lockdowns and so much more. Thank the Lord for taking my mind off all the strife and sadness.
As a former Mormon choir member, may I say this is the RICHEST and best of Vivaldi's GLORIA.BRAVO!
I come back to this wonderful video!
i listen to this about once a week it inspires and gives me focus.
Danke für diese wunderschöne Interpretation, tolle Talente.
Love that mezzo soloist (in Domine Deus)! What a rich, warm, yet clear voice!
Thank you so much Jesus Christ today again specially!
All the grace and
the glory to our God Almighty the Father Jesus Christ our Lord today specially!
Thank you so much for sharing today again!

God bless you.
This brings me back to senior year in high school. We performed the entire piece with the college choir and got a standing ovation :)
Peace....perfect Peace...........thank you.....listening from Hermanus....South Africa......the whole world needs this beautiful music......LOVE
Joy and Peace to the whole world
I'm performing this song on December 6th, and, I've been listening to a lot of recordings while doing my homework, and, I'd have to say, this is the best I've found so far. It's fantastic!
Kafele Keller How was it? I have to perform it as a violinist December ninth.
So Wonderful tears ran down my cheeks...Blessings!!
That was lovely. Thank you for sharing this with people in need of beauty and cooperation!
From the composer to the conductor to the musicians to the audio-visual team to the printers that printed the sheet music - proves there is God.
All in all completely amazing. Wonderful.
Thank you so much Lord again!
So wonderful!
All the grace and the glory to our God Almighty the Father Jesus Christ our Lord today again!

God bless AMERICA!
The best work of the best composer of all time.
Gloria Gloria... my Lord 💚✝️♥️
Such a truly uplifting piece of music and beautifully performed the University of North Texas College of Music - Glorious.
One of the most musical, and highest quality offerings of this masterpiece on UA-cam. Congratulations Maestro et al! Gorgeous blend of voices, articulate playing, effective tempi, terrific soloists and expressive conducting. Vivaldi lives!
Thank you, sir. This music touches my soul and I than my dear, sensitive Christian for naming me Gloria Esther.
Please correct omission of Christian "mother" as well as the "k" in thank.
G.E. D., can you please explain what “dear Christian mother” means? I don’t understand. Thank you.
Love that mezzo soloist! What a rich, warm, yet clear voice!
My comments are posted long after this video was released. First, thank you for creating such a beautiful performance. I have come to appreciate the Baroque practice for string playing string music with less vibrato. When I hear Baroque performances with extreme vibrato, it makes me ill to have the beautiful melodies distorted so much. I also appreciate that in the training of singers.
This is a beautifully expressive performance. Bravo to the conductor and the talented students of North Texas!
No me canso de oírlo una y otra vez.
Nothing captures my spirit like beautiful, rich harmony. Breathtaking; at times haunting. My gratitude for posting this.
Un meravigliosa composizione del grandissimo Vivaldi!! una esecuzione esemplare!!! una orchestra di giovani simpatici e appassionat!!!i un direttore che ha interpretato in modo magistrale!! un vero capolavoro che non mi stanco di ascoltare e riascoltare!!!
A wonderful reminder of glorious choral music which we have so missed during lockdown.
Having viewed and listened to all the presentation of Vivaldi's Gloria that I have been able to find, I must say that this, in my humble opinion, is by far the best performance. I love it, and thank the performers profusely.
Outstanding. Perfect tempo. Full choir but not overly so...
The Red Priest's Gloria presented by the Big Green's ensemble -
Absolutely Glorious!!!
Great to hear a young choir doing a magnificent presentation of such a wonderful piece of music!
Sparkling in every way. Grateful to be an alum: 1967, 1969. Bravi tutti. God's richest blessings on your careers to come. rjs
Heavenly excellence! Thank you so much for Gloria in Excelsis Deo and for you all and for your musical gift!
Sublime !! One of the best version in UA-cam. Congradualtions UNT.
Bravissimi tutti! Stupenda esecuzione e interpretazione! Complimenti!
I absolutely love this performance and have listened to it over and over.
Eine wunderschöne Musik zum genießen !!
Genuss pur !!
Majestic music, absolutely spotless rendition and presentation. BRAVO to absolutely every musician and everyone who participated, including the producer, camera operators, sound engineer, and of course, the University Department that sponsored the performance.
Most beautiful rendition of "Gloria"❤👌
Excellent!
Thank you very much!

C'est vrai. Plus jeune j'adorais Chopin et son romantisme, Mozart et son je ne sais quoi de léger, profond et divin à la fois, mais plus j'écoute Vivaldi et plus je trouve qu'aucun compositeur n'élève l'âme comme lui. La prière vient presque sans transition après l'avoir écouté, comme dans la continuité d'un même élan vers le ciel.
@@julienpithois6391 .Si Bach élève autant que Vivaldi. Haendel dans le Messie. Mais ce gloria fait partie des plus beaux chants.
@@julienpithois6391 proprio vero! Vivaladi ti porta lontano da questo mondo

Merci Jean Françis pour le partage
I have had the joy of choral singing since Grammar school and on tours to five different countries.This piece is always a favorite.
@jameshama02gmail13 refresh my memory which choir did we sing in what year? So good to hear from you.
Very, very nicely done. Very good tempos, well articulated overall.....excellent voices. I was very moved by this performance. Kudos to the teachers...Bravo to the performers!!
Very Baroque. Well done.
A bit slow don’t ya think!

Wonderful. The beauty of this music, so brilliantly performed, makes me feel I can touch the sky!
I have long loved this piece, finding it by mistake at one point. This performance makes me full of joy that I am a choir singer, and sing classical music. Oh my. . .such beautiful sound has to make you believe in the universe and all the profound things that gives someone such a gift to write it, never mind perform it!!!!!!
I thought only "cowboys" live in Texas, but that they can also play such beautiful music, Vivadi my great respect, Bravo!, I am a friend of the USA. Greetings from old Germany.
Never forget that VAN CLEBURNE came from Kilgore, Texas
UNT has one of the best, if not the best, music programs of any university in the US.

After he won theTchaikovsky piano competition he lived the remainder of his life in Fort Worth Texas... when he wasn't touring and performing.

You are exactly right.
Best version..... normally it's over orchestrated but this is spot on!
Para los que conocemos los conciertos para violin del Prete Rosso, "las cuatro estaciones", y poco más, es un regalo para los oidos y el alma encontrar una grabación como esta. Magnifica interpretación. Gracias. Muchas Gracias.
For those of us who know Prete Rosso's violin concerts, "the four seasons", and little else, it is a gift for the ears and the soul to find a recording like this. Magnificent interpretation Thank you. Thank you so much.

Fabulous. It's what vocal music with a string accompaniment is all about
Wish today's composers could write things like this ,but unfortunately they're not capable . Bravissimo .
This is the best Vivaldi's Gloria college american choir and orchestra ensemble performance I ever heard in You Toube. Sound recording superb too! Magnifique!
