This Sonata by Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741) was originally in the key of D minor, and written for Flute & Guitar (plus continuo). John Zaradin has played his own flute & guitar duo version for many years (in D minor) but found that as a guitar solo, the key of E minor suits the instrument best. Chamber Music Work: Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), Sonata in e minor, Op. 40 (for cello and continuo) (for cello and continuo).

The Credo in E minor (RV 591) is the only extant setting of the Nicene Creed by Antonio Vivaldi. Another setting exists (RV 592) but is of dubious authenticity.
Settings[edit]
RV 591[edit]
Vivaldi E Minor Violin Concerto
RV 591 has four movements. In a style similar to his psalm setting of In exitu Israel (RV 604), the first movement adorns the chorus' simple rhythms of crotchets and minims with the orchestra playing semiquavers and quavers. The second movement is a brief choral episode in the stile antico, borrowing thematic material from the composer's Magnificat. The fourth movement is based on a semiquaver-quaver motif similar to the first movement, and closes with a fugue.
The first (and final) movements open with a motif which bears similarity to a brief passage found in the first movement of the Gloria (RV 588).
