Vivaldi's Gloria DVDNew Ref: DVD256

Few pieces of music are as instantly recognisable as Vivaldi's 'Gloria' and most singers will have sung it at some time, but how many people know that it was originally performed entirely by women, including the lower voice parts? This is re-created here by the Vivaldi's Women choir. This DVD, exclusive to The Gift of Music, was commissioned by Sky Television as part of Peter Ackroyd's documentary series 'Venice'. DVD includes performances of the Gloria and 2 other Vivaldi choral works plus a complete fascinating episode from Ackroyd's 'Venice' - 'The City as Music'. Length 78 min

Upstairs, DownstairsNew Ref: CDG1235

Music from the servants' hall

Traditional tunes, witty lyrics and old instruments make music for having a good time below stairs, where life could be tough and the work was hard. But when the work was over and a holiday came round there would be singing and dancing, often with wistful reflection on a better life to come, or featuring traditional tales of Robin Hood and rich and poor.
