Vivaldi's Storm

This will sound familiar . . .

Vivaldi’s Storm (AKA:  “Summer” from “The Four Seasons”)




The Four Seasons (Italian: Le quattro stagioni) is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi.  Composed in 1723, The Four Seasons is Vivaldi's best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces of Baroque music. The texture of each concerto is varied, each resembling its respective season.  For example, "Winter" is peppered with silvery staccato notes from the high strings, calling to mind icy rain, whereas "Summer" evokes a thunderstorm in its final movement, which is why the movement is often dubbed "Storm."
