Antonio Vivaldi (engraving by François Morellon la Cave, from Michel-Charles Le Cène's edition of Vivaldi's Op. 8) The following is a list of compositions by the Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741).
Shortly after Vivaldi's appointment, the orphans began to gain appreciation and esteem abroad, too. Vivaldi wrote concertos, cantatas and sacred vocal music for them. [24] These sacred works, which number over 60, are varied: they included solo motets and large-scale choral works for soloists, double chorus, and orchestra. [25]
Vivaldi composed a few concertos specifically for L'estro armonico, while other concertos of the set had been composed at an earlier date. Vivaldi scholar Michael Talbot described the set as "perhaps the most influential collection of instrumental music to appear during the whole of the eighteenth century".

The Concerto alla rustica, unlike some other of Vivaldi's concertos, did not include a descriptive programme.
