This work for flute trio is in no way connected to the famous work of the same name by Antonio Vivaldi. In his Four Seasons, Mario Valsania sees the changing seasons from a child's point of view: Spring, out in the fresh air on abike ride, the unhurried Summer, Autumn and the new school year, and finally Winter, with its Christmas celebrations...This is a composition in a classical style but with advanced, non-traditional harmonies. The composer's aim was to bring out the full richness of the flute's range and character - such as staccato and double-tonguing. InWinter, various traditional Christmas carols can be heard.Dit werk voor fluittrio heeft op geen enkele manier te maken met het beroemde gelijknamige werk van Antonio Vivaldi. In zijn Four Seasons kijkt Mario Valsania naar de wisselende seizoenen vanuit het perspectief van een kind: in de lente kun jelekker naar buiten om te fietsen in de frisse lucht; de zomer is een zorgeloze periode; de herfst staat voor de start van het nieuwe schooljaar; en tot slot is er de winter, waarin onder meer het kerstfeest wordt gevierd...
Deze compositie is in klassieke stijl geschreven, maar met gebruik van vooruitstrevende, niet-traditionele harmonieën. De componist is erin geslaagd om de rijke, karakteristieke klank over het volledige register van de fluit te benutten - metmiddelen als staccato en dubbele tongslag. In het gedeelte Winter zijn enkele traditionele kerstliederen te herkennen.Dieses Werk für Flötentrio verweist in keiner Weise auf das berühmte gleichnamige Werk von Antonio Vivaldi. In seinen Vier Jahreszeiten versucht Mario Valsania nachzuspüren, wie ein Kind die wechselnden Jahreszeiten erlebt: denFrühling, den man am liebsten an der frischen Luft und auf dem Fahrrad verbringt, den Sommer als sorglose Periode, den Herbst als Zeit des Schuljahresbeginns, und schließlich den Winter, in den Weihnachten und andere Festefallen...Die im klassischen Stil gehaltene Komposition weist eine erweiterte, nicht traditionelle Harmonik auf. Der Komponist versuchte, den gesamten Tonumfang und charakteristische Aspekte der Flöte, wie staccato und Doppelzunge, auszunutzen. ImWinter werden einige traditionelle Weihnachtslieder zitiert.Cette composition pour trio de fl tes traversiéres ne fait aucunement référence la célébre à âuvre de Vivaldi. Dans ses Four Seasons (Quatre saisons), Mario Valsania égréne le changement des saisons, vécu par unenfant : le printemps, synonyme dair frais, de liberté et de courses vélo, lété qui se vit avec un soupçon d'insouciance, lautomne qui signifie la rentrée scolaire, et finalement l'hiver, le temps des festivités de Noël.
Il sagit dune piéce composée dans un style classique présentant toutefois des harmonies et des accents surprenants. Lobjectif du compositeur était de faire ressortir toute la richesse de la fl te traversiére par des traitscaractéristiques tels que le staccato ou le double coup de langue. Dans le quatriéme mouvement, Winter, plusieurs chants de Noël traditionnels peuvent être entendus.Questa pubblicazione per trio di flauti non é in collegata alla celebre opera omonima di Antonio Vivaldi. Nelle sue Four Seasons, Mario Valsania cerca di ricreare in musica la sensazione che un bambino può provare al passaggio dellestagioni: la Primavera, laria fresca e un i giri in bicicletta, lEstate come periodo spensierato, lAutunno con l'inizio della scuola e, infine, l Inverno con il Natale e le feste in famiglia.

The third part of the Chthonic Flute Suite commissioned by Areon Flutes in 2012. This suite has two main inspirations: ideologically it draws guidance from the book The Dream and the Underworld (1979)by James Hillman (1926-2011) and musically it explores the textural possibilities of a flute ensemble within the context of the heavy chamber music style I have developed with Edmund Welles: the bass clarinet quartet since 1996. This style draws virtuosic precision from the classical realm; innovation and texture from jazz; and power, rhythm and overall perspective from rock and metal. The term chthonic [thon-ik] generally means underworld. However, Hillman thoroughly elaborates that its true meaning extends below the earth and beyond it into invisible, non-physical and far distant psychic realms: the deeper mysteries of the invisible. The trio is divided into three sections: The Way We Descend--Reflection of Narcissus--Below Nature. Taking a break from Greek myth-nerd terms, this movement introduces chthonic-flavored phrases that elaborate on our descent into the underworld, specifically through dreams. The realm of the underworld can be such a shock to our dayworld, limited, egoic consciousness that it can seem like a violation as Hillman points out, referencing the Greeks: This style of the underworld experience is overwhelming, it comes as violation, dragging one out of life and into the Kingdom that the Orphic Hymn to Pluto describes as 'void of day.' So it often says on Greek epitaphs that entering Hades is 'leaving the sweet sunlight.' (p.49) He elaborates on the differences between dayworld and underworld perspectives: The dream is not compensation but initiation. It does not complete ego-consciousness, but voids it. So it matters very much the way we descend. (p.112) He goes on to describe the various modes in which mythical figures have descended: Ulysses and Aenas to learn; Hercules to take and to test, for example. To act like Hercules, like the hero, in the underworld is to miss the point and cause more problems, the villain in the underworld is the heroic ego, not Hades. (p.113).
