Hello, Spring!


     This glorious composition by the famous composer, Antonio Vivaldi is definitely on my list of favorite classical works!  This piece is a part of a set of four Violin concertos (concertos are musical compositions for a solo performer accompanied by an orchestra or some type of musical accompaniment). Each concerto represents a different season, of course, I picked the first concerto which is called, "La primavera" or "Spring." The first concerto certainly captures the wonderful baroque era essence of intricate details and complex harmonies. This monumental work is definitely an epic tale that has no words, but conveys  a lot of varying emotions to its listener. This composition is quite a lovely length of just a little over 41 mins.  Once again, this will serve as great background music for midterms week!

Let me know your thoughts on this piece!
