Part 1: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons

THE FOUR SEASONS are concerti for solo violins and ensemble. SPRING has violins singing like birds1 doing rapid runs to suggest streaks of lightning, and the low strings rumbling like thunder. SUMMER includes a storm; the solo violin represents a cuckoo, a turtledove, a goldfinch, and a weeping shepherd. There are loud tremolo passages to suggest thunder. AUTUMN is a picture of harvest-the joys of reaping, the weariness of the peasants, the vigor of a hunting scene. WINTER utilizes the strings to suggest shivering, teeth chattering, feet stomping for warmth. As well as snow, ice, and the winds there is the comfort of the fireplace.
