Vivaldi's oratorio Juditha Triumphans was written for performance at Venice in 1716. The. work, as edited by Vito Frazzi, was revived in Italy in 1941, and the score published in 1948 by the Accademia Musicale Chigiana. It is a long work, and for tonight's performance Trevor Harvey has selected the most interesting parts. There are a few choruses, 'but the oratorio consists mainly of recitatives and arias.
