Par NIJS JOHAN. Après un long sommeil hivernal, le printemps annonce la renaissance de la nature. Parfumée des essences de la flore, la saison du renouveau développe sa lente et douce progression vers l’épanouissement estival avant de sombrer dans la douce mélancolie automnale. Avec The Four Seasons, Johan Nijs nous livre un tableau bucolique de la nature au fil des saisons. / Niveau : 2 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie ou Fanfare

(The Four Seasons). Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) stands, with Handel and J. S. Bach, as one of the titanic figures of late Baroque composition. Not only was he lauded as a composer of vocal and instrumental works both sacred and secular, he was without serious competition, the most prolific composer of his age. In addition to hundreds of vocal works, includingforty-nine operas, he composed five hundred concertos. The Four Seasons are probably the best known of his concerti with the second movement, Largo, portraying time spent by a roaring firelistening to the rain pounding against the window. This new arrangement for concert band retains allthe warmth of the original. / Niveau : 2 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
