When we listen to Spring, we call the A section “The Trees” because it is played by the whole string family and sounds strong and graceful like trees in a forest. An example of a song that is in rondo form is Spring by the famous Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi. A song is in rondo form if it has an A section that is repeated several times, with new sections in between each A section.

This arrangement of Spring is in the key of E major and features 8th and 16th note rhythms, large melodic leaps, scalar runs and a very consonant major chord harmony. Thunderstorms, those heralds of Spring, roar, casting their dark mantle over heaven, Then they die away to silence, and the birds take up their charming songs once more. The birds celebrate her return with festive song, and murmuring streams are softly caressed by the breezes. Here is the sonnet that accompanies the Allegro movement: Springtime is upon us. Vivaldi not only painted these images with his music but also published accompanying sonnets that expounded on the spirit of each season. In Spring, we hear flowing creeks, singing birds, a shepherd and his barking dog. Vivaldi uses instrument tones and timbres to encapsulate the time of the year and evoke the sights and sounds we associate with that period.

What we call “Spring” is the first Allegro movement from Concerto No. The Four Seasons is a group of four violin concertos each of which gives musical expression to the seasons of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter. It should be noted that this is just one part of a larger masterwork by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi.

Sam to the borduns in Chapter 3 and now, these performances in E major. Vivaldi’s Spring is a favorite at Prodigies.
