Aria: Nulla in mundo pax sincera, Sine felle; pura et vera Dulcis jesu est in te. Inter poenas et tormenta, Vivit anima contenta, Casti amoris, sola spe. 1. Aria: There is no true peace in the world without bitterness; in you, sweet Jesus, it is pure and rightful. Amongst anguish and torment lives the contented soul, its only hope, chaste love. The Academy of Ancient Music. Emma Kirkby (Soprano). Dir: Cristopher Hogwood. Nulla in mundo pax sincera (RV 630) is a motet composed by Antonio Vivaldi, the title of which may be translated as "In this world there is no honest peace". Written in the key of E major and in the typical lyrical Italian Baroque style, it is scored for solo soprano, two violins, viola and basso continuo, this would normally be a cello and keyboard instrument, in Vivaldi's case often the organ. The piece praises Jesus Christ for the salvation he offers (in Christianity) to an imperfect world full of evil and sin; as one of Vivaldi's sacred works, the lyrics are accordingly written in the traditional Latin.
