This arrangement was adapted for a wood quintet ensemble, ideal to be performed at weddings and by groups of music beginners, which does not prevent it from being performed by professionals in the area. The piece has approximately 2 minutes and 33 seconds of duration, being in a comfortable time for those performing it, so that there is no difference between this version and the composer's original.

The Four Seasons, Italian Le quattro stagioni, group of four violin concerti by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, each of which gives a musical expression to a season of the year. Unusually for the time, Vivaldi published the concerti with accompanying poems (possibly written by Vivaldi himself) that elucidated what it was about those seasons that his music was intended to evoke. This movement is illustrated textually in a sonnet with the following description:

Standing quietly and contentedly by the fire
While outside the rain bathes everything;
Walk on the ice with slow step
For fear of falling in the attempt.
To feel when going out through the stinging door,
Sirocco, Borea, and all the winds at war;
That this is winter, but such, that joy door.

Antonio Vivaldi?s Four Seasons need no introduction: it is the Italian composer?s best known and most loved work. Myriam and Maia Darme arranged this baroque masterpiece for flute and pedal harp.

This is the sheet music for the third movement of Spring, a joyous pastoral dance illustrating the following sonnet: "Led by the festive sound of rustic bagpipes, nymphs and shepherds lightly dance beneath the brilliant canopy of spring."

The PDF file includes both the score and parts. Intermediate-advanced level. Performance time: ca. 3?40.

Note that the sound clip was digitally produced as a reference : the piece will sound much better on real instruments!
