The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concerti composed around 1718–1720, when Vivaldi was the court chapel master in Mantua. They represent a first use of ‘programme music’ : Vivaldi represented flowing creeks, singing birds, a shepherd and his barking dog, buzzing flies, storms, drunken dancers, frozen landscapes and warm winter fires. This arrangement presents just highlights from each of the seasons while retaining the essence of the great work .
