RV 588 borrows extensively from a double orchestra-and-choir setting of the same text by Giovanni Maria Ruggieri (which will henceforth in this article be referred by its RV cataloguing number of RV. The date of composition between this Gloria and RV 589 is still disputed, but both show compositional inspiration from each other.
The first movement is interwoven with the last aria of RV 639, as explained above. The lesser known of the two surviving Glorias, RV 588 was composed most likely during Vivaldi's employment at the Pio Ospedale della Pietà, known for their advanced choral ensemble. Four introduzioni exist for these Glorias: Cur Sagittas (RV 637), Jubilate, o amoeni cori (RV 639), Longe Mala, Umbrae, Terrores (RV 640), and Ostro Picta (RV 642).
