edit 5/1/11 - After less than a year at the monastery, Vivaldi, a priest, got himself a medical...a note for the doctor, which allowed him to skip saying daily Mass. He said when a run of melody came into his head, he'd have to run into the sanctuary and write it down....it got to be a PIA. Listening to this arrangement, it's totally understandable.
