This beautiful piece, a setting of Dixit Dominus in D major, had been incorrectly attributed to the composer Baldassare Galuppi by Venetian music copyists. As was typical of so many baroque composers, Vivaldi's reputation disappeared with his death (1741) and his many sublime compositions, including The Four Seasons and Gloria, so well-known to us today, were quickly consigned to oblivion.

In the mid-1740s, under pressure to fulfil a large sacred music order for the Dresden Court, the copyists probably hoped nobody would notice the hasty inclusion of a work by a dead composer to pad out the bulk of the collection.

Two hundred and sixty years later the first modern performance of the rediscovered Dixit took place in Dresden in 2006. The first UK performance took place only a few weeks ago. Aylesbury Choral Society are delighted to announce the second UK performance of the rediscovered Dixit Dominus RV 807 (but a first for Aylesbury and the South of England, including London!) on Saturday at 7.30pm at St Mary's Church under the baton of Peter Leech, accompanied by the Oxford-based period instrument orchestra Frideswide Ensemble, led by Hazel Brooks. The programme will include the fabulous Gloria and two of Vivaldi's string concertos.

Tickets, £12 (£5 under 18s) available from Aylesbury Choral Society on 01296 640915, or on the door.
