The Kyrie in G minor (RV 587) by Antonio Vivaldi is a setting of the Kyrie for two cori (two orchestras each with respective four-part chorus). This is the only extant setting of the Kyrie the composer wrote.RV 587 is divided into three movements. The first movement begins with an orchestral interlude based on a modified version of the first movement of the composer’s Magnificat. The chorus is adorned with descending quavers in the orchestra.
