Antonio Vivaldi

Poetry and Sound Effects in Vivaldi's Spring Concerto

Vivaldi based each of his The Four Seasons concertos on a set of sonnets — poems. The music in each of the Four Seasons describes exactly what’s going on in the poems. “Spring” includes birds, brooks, breezes and thunderstorms. See how many of those you can hear in Vivaldi's music.
