Antonio Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” Art & Music Presentation Created By Beth Mitchell Edited by Aimee Vilcins

The Four Seasons: Winter (Allegro) About the Composer Vivaldi grew up in Venice and learned to play the violin as a boy, probably from his father, who was both a violinist and a barber. He began his career as the music master at an orphanage and school for girls, but soon became known for his compositions, many of which became bestsellers. Vivaldi is best known for the Four Seasons, which, like the year, contains four parts, each divided into three small parts. Vivaldi published the score of the Four Seasons with sonnets for his audience and cues for his musicians so that they would precisely know what sounds they were hearing or playing.

A Winter Landscape with Skaters and a Bird Trap About the Artist Brueghel is called “The Younger” because his father was also a painter named Pieter. In fact, Brueghel the Younger is primarily know for running a workshop that made copies of the picture of his more well known father. This painting is one of sixty versions he made, all based on the same work

Listen to the piece as you look at the picture… Can you hear… The solo violin plays the skater, using quick notes to show the gliding motion? clumsy skater, turning, crashing, and falling, played by the strings quickly moving all the way down the scale? The north wind blowing hard, played by the solo violin going quickly up and down the scale?

View from the Mount Holyoke, Northhampton, Mass. After a Thunderstorm-The Oxbow About the Artist Cole moved to America from and industrial city in England when he was eighteen. Inspired by the grandeur and wilderness of the American landscape, he became the most prominent figure in the group of painters now know as the Hudson River School. In the lower-central part of the canvas, Cole depicted himself, at an easel

Listen to the piece as you look at the picture… Can you hear… the strings play the thunder at the start of the piece, repeating the same low note? trees being blown by the wind, played by the violins going quickly down the scale? A bird trying to find shelter, played by the solo violin playing very high, quick notes?

The Four Seasons: Spring (Allegro) About the Composer Vivaldi grew up in Venice and learned to play the violin as a boy, probably from his father, who was both a violinist and a barber. He began his career as the music master at an orphanage and school for girls, but soon became known for his compositions, many of which became bestsellers. Vivaldi is best known for the Four Seasons, which, like the year, contains four parts, each divided into three small parts. This piece is its best movement. Vivaldi published the score of the Four Seasons with sonnets for his audience and cues for his musicians so that they would precisely know what sounds they were hearing or playing.

Mountain Torrent, Jacob van Ruisdael

Mountain Torrent About the Artist Ruisdael was one of the most important landscape painters in Europe during the seventeenth century and was highly admired in Vivaldi’s day. Naturalistic landscape painting flourished in the Netherlands from the 1620s onward, and was encouraged by trade, exploration, and the study of natural sciences. This canvas depicts Scandinavian topography, which enjoyed a vogue in Amsterdam during the second half of the 1600s.

Listen to the piece as you look at the picture… Can you hear…the solo violin trilling the same high note over and over, playing the bird’s song? Can you hear…the mountain stream, played by the entire violin section, softly repeating many short, connected notes? Can you hear…the thunder, played by the strings quickly repeating the same low note?
