Antonio vivaldi 4 seasons5/15/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Then the music turns into Adagio which presents the fear of mosquitoes after the storm is gone(music 5:27). When the tension suddenly changes as the music goes faster, it shows that the birds are crying and the wind is blowing because of the summer storm. The start of this section is slow but has high tension according to summer’s hot weather which express that the people and the animals are all exhausted under the sun. Then it turns faster again into Allegro as if the shepherd who was asleep suddenly awakes and dances. The melody seems softer and calmer and there is less tension, according to slow movement. In this section, the music created is a more curious and mysterious mood. The bird’s song and dance continues after it stops. But then suddenly, tension is created as if there’s a thunder-storm from the sky nominated for the spring (music 3:30). The first movement, which is called spring, starts with the song and dance of the birds. Each movement has slow movement between two faster ones which is pretty obcious if you listen carefuly. There is a theory that Vivaldi wrote music with sonnets and given that each sonnet spring, summer, fall or winter, is broken down into three sections. He seemed to express the characteristics of four seasons.Įach season has specific theme as it goes as along with four sonnets, which makes his music classified as program music (music that intends to evoke something extra musical). While I was researching The Four seasons, the beautiful melody and themes entranced me. He is known mainly for composing instrumental concertos, especially for the violin. He was an Italian Baroque composer who was born in 1678 in Venice. The Four Seasons, the most popular Baroque music in history, was composed by Antonio Vivaldi in 1723. ![]()
