A Season to Sing: A choral re-imagining of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons

A Season to Sing is a choral re-imagining of Vivaldi’s enduringly popular set of violin concertos, The Four Seasons.Published in the 300th Anniversary year of Vivaldi’s most famous work, A Season to Sing enhances the music’s programmatic intent by weaving into the well-loved melodies texts from poetry and the Bible on the subject of spring, summer, autumn and winter. “The Four Seasons is the first piece of music I can remember hearing from my childhood.I used to dance around the sitting room to it!” Joanna recalls. “I thought a great way to mark its 300th anniversary would be to make it possible for choirs to perform it.Vivaldi’s tunes are so magnificent they deserve to be sung!” The 40-minute work’s seasonal theme will enable the piece to be performed at any time of the year and it is hoped that A Season To Sing will become a fi rm favourite with choirs throughout the world.
