Trio Sonata n. 6 | Antonio Vivaldi

Trio Sonata n. 6 | Antonio Vivaldi

Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) surprises us with one of his sonatas, this pleasant and joyful one: Trio Sonata n. 6. The voices intertwine to form a whole where melody and harmony do not differ, they take turns.

The great Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi was born in a city of dreams, a place where the sky and the sea meet: Venice. This influenced his style of composition making him a reference in the musical world that was the seventeenth and eighteenth century.

In this Trio Sonata n. 6 performed by the Heralds of the Gospel, the sounds of the instruments known as "Woodwind" (which differ from the Brass, not by their physical composition, but by their soft and sweet sound) are not repeated: a flute, an oboe and a bassoon blend their performances to deliver a serene and charming sonata. Finally, an organ accompanies the group, marking the ordinary rhythm with its ability to maintain the chords of a piece of music.
