Vivaldi Quotes

“I found a brief piece of by Antonio Vivaldi around this time which became my ‘Pinhead Mood Music’. Called Al Santo Sepolcro (At The Holy Sepulchre), it opens more like a piece of modern orchestral music, and although it it moves toward Vivaldi’s familiar harmonies, there is always the threat that it will fall back into dissonance. The piece progresses in an exquisite agony, poised on a knife edge between beauty and disfigurement, joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain. Perfect.”
― Doug Bradley, Behind the Mask of the Horror Actor

“…this is what the years can do. One day they’re playing Vivaldi and releasing doves outside the cathedral for you, and the next day they’re hiding behind barrels in the dusty center of town, watching the two lone gunslingers squaring off in the road.”
