The Four Seasons series

The Four Seasons series by Vivaldi, composed in the early 18th century, is a set of four violin concertos, each representing a different season: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Using vivid musical imagery, each concerto captures the unique atmosphere, sounds, and moods associated with its season—for example, birds and blooming flowers in Spring or icy winds in Winter. The pieces are celebrated for their expressive melodies, technical brilliance, and innovative use of orchestration, offering listeners a vivid auditory journey through the changing landscapes and activities of the year.
