Antonio Vivaldi's extensive oeuvre also includes a large repertoire of sacred vocal music, ranging from large-scale mass and vesper compositions to biblical oratorios and solo motets. The double-choir Kyrie in G minor RV 587, composed around the middle of the 1720s, belongs to a group of individual mass movements. The harmonically exposed opening part, a series of excitingly modulating chords that presumably goes back to a foreign model, lends the first "Kyrie" call a high intensity of expression. The "Christe" is performed by the female voices of both choirs; the final movement is an Allegro double fugue in a strict four-part movement with a short Adagio introduction.
