about

‘Nisi Dominus’
This is the opening piece from Vivaldi’s Cantata of the same name (RV 608). The text – Psalm 126 – was composed for the Venetian girls’ orphanage, ‘The Pieta’, where he taught the violin. Vivaldi’s work there caused him to produce concertos in abundance. These previously unknown concertos were a major spur to the so-called post war ‘Baroque boom’ that awakened active performing and recording.
The message of the Latin is: ‘Unless God is in the building of your house or the guarding of a city – you will have laboured in vain’.

The Mezzo Soprano Marianne Lihannah sings Vivaldi's 'Nisi Dominus' live as part of her ATCL Singing Recital for Trinity College London. Pete Rosser is the Pianist.
