textbook that covers the wide range that is the history of music from the secular and sacred, the
funny to serious. It focuses on musical works, styles, genres, and ideas that have proven most
influential, enduring, and significant (http://www.abebooks.com/9780393931259/HistoryWestern-Music-Eighth-Edition-0393931250/plp ).

This article goes over the modern day re-discovery of composer Antonio Vivaldi, starting from
the accidental discovery of his manuscripts by Prof. Alberto Gentili in 1926. This article does
largely focus on the time after Vivaldis death, and where his music travelled, starting from the
purchase of Vivaldis personal manuscripts to Venetian collector Jacopo Soranzo in 1741, to the
completion of The Vivaldi Collection on October 30, 1930, and ending with the famous debuts
of a portion of Vivaldis Four Seasons at Carnegie Hall on December 31, 1947. This article also
includes Miles Fishs photographs from the Italian Nation University Library in Turin and the
library archives of the Accademica Musicale Chigiana in Siena where Vivaldis manuscripts are
kept

Heller, Karl, & Dr. Phil (1997). Antonio Vivaldi: The Red Priest of Venice. Portland: Ore:
Amadeus Press .
The author, Karl Heller, had once held the place of Music Historian at the University of Rostock,
Germany, which is the originally language book this was written in (German). It was later
partially translated by David Marinell to English. In Hellers biography of composer Antonio
Vivaldi, he tries to go over almost every single one of Vivaldis compositions, and try and make a
comment on every single one. Through this, Heller is trying to accomplish an overall viewpoint
on important life moments in Vivaldis life, from his works to his influence on the Baroque time
period
Kerman, J., Tomlinson, G., & Kerman, V. (2015). Listen (8 ed.). Boston, MA:
Bedford/St.Martins.
This university used textbook extends from the beginning of music, from its fundamentals to the
modern age (Contemporary Time Period). In Chapters 9-11 (pp. 98-194), it covers the major
events, and touches upon Louis XIV and his patronage to music as The Sun King to composer
Johann Sebastian Bach and his Cantata No. 4 (1707), covering a time period from 1600-1750
which is described as the Baroque Time Period. The Bibliography given on pp. 119, talks about
Vivaldis personal life. From his ambition to be just like his father, and becoming a priest where
his red hair gave him the nickname The Red Priest to the beginning of his teachings as a violin
instructor at the Seminario Musicale dellOspedale della Piet, an all-girls orphanage. His job at
the orphanage gave him time to tour, even if he was contracted to have to write two concertos a
month for his pupils. At the end of his life, Vivaldi left Venice and moved to Vienna where he
passed on July 28, 1741. In his time, Vivaldis work was regarded as thin and flashy p.3, but are
now widely regarded as an important learning curve in any musicians education experience.
