Domine Deus, Agnus Dei (Contralto and Chorus)Īlmost no information exists on this lost setting other than evidence of its instrumentals (five voices and oboes in trombae) in the Kreuzherren catalogue.The last movement, "Cum Sancto Spiritu," is essentially an "upgraded" version of Ruggieri's movement - that is to say, updated to fit the standards of the emerging late Baroque style, with the addition of accidentals not present in RV Anh. The "Qui Tollis" movement of RV 589 is rhythmically similar to the first few measures of RV 588 (and ultimately RV Anh. 23 in that the second movement of both employ the use of repetitious semiquavers underneath choral progressions. The second movement is much more dramatic in RV 589, but nevertheless shares with RV Anh. The first movement's chorus shares similar key modulations to that of the first movement of RV 588, only modified to fit a duple meter instead of the triple meter of RV 588 the orchestral motifs are also shared, including octaval jumps in the primal motives of the piece.

Many movements show inspiration from this composition, and two movements ("Qui Tollis" and "Cum Sancto Spiritu") are plagiarised from the original Ruggieri setting (although "Qui Tollis" completely omits the second coro (chorus), and "Cum Sancto Spiritu" is slightly modified). 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.
