About

Vivaldi’s setting of Psalm 113 (Psalm 114 in the Protestant Bible) In exitu Israel was probably composed in 1739. Strings and basso continuo accompany the homophonically-written vocal parts. The text of this psalm – the longest of all the vesper psalms – was set by Vivaldi in an extremely condensed composition. Despite its brevity, his fine feeling for the emotional content of the text is wonderfully expressed. Even in this one-movement work the composer creates space for variety by not only varying the string accompaniment, but also playing with the keys effectively and sometimes in surprising ways, or hinting at the responsorial style of psalm settings.
