Gloria, [F] Giselle
_ _ [Bb] _ When I got the proposal to record [Bbm] _ Gloria and Null et Mundo Pax,
[Ebm]
first I was just astonished.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ Really, [Eb] I was so happy, I [Ab] couldn't believe this could come,
because this is such a great, [Db] important piece of music.
Friere, [Bb] _
C'est _ _ _ [Ab] _ Giselle

Everything about Vivaldi always fascinates,
since I was a little girl, was extremely inspiring.
[Ab] It was a dream for me [F] to perform [Dm] it.
It's all about happiness, freedom, love, eternal love, love to God.
_ [Gm] _
_ _ [D] _ Nisi, Nisi Dominus _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [D] _ This psalm, Nisi Dominus, is one of the most famous psalms by Vivaldi,
_ written for the voice of Alto.
It's a _ _ monumental piece, and it's a reference in Vivaldi's music.
_ _ _ [Gm] _
[E] So, to have the opportunity to [Bm] do it, to study it,
with Diego and the Master Fasolis we're doing,
is truly [D] a [Dbm] great joy. _ _ _ _ _
Cecilia Bartoli, or Jennifer Larmor, or Arsofi Fonot, or Marilyn Horne,
all of them [Eb] were, I always say, like my [Ab] _
_ [Dbm] virtual teachers.
The fact [Ebm] that I had the [Db]
opportunity, the great honour, to work with [Ab] Cecilia,
even though she was a [B] countertenor,
but let's say that my beginning in singing was more towards the beautiful singing.
So, perhaps these are [Ab] the things you feel when I sing.
The occasion here was a goddess,
because we have a soloist, a soprano like Giulia Lesneva,
[G] _ _ who [C] moves us with her voice, [Cm] so clear, almost angelic.
Franco Fagioli is absolutely extraordinary here,
[D] _
and he's perhaps the only one who can sing the part of the countertenor,
the part of the [C] soprano, in such an extraordinary way.
For the baroque musicians, it's a great moment,
for the Swiss radio [G] and television as well,
[Cm] and the choir was able to express [F] itself well in the glory of Vivaldi.
So, a [Bbm] Decca production that deserves, [Eb]
I hope,
to [Ab] soon be included in one of the [Fm] reference records for these [Eb]
Vivaldian interpretations.
