Discover Winter from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons

Free Listening Guide

Listening Guides are visual ‘roadmaps’ of classical pieces for ‘do-it-yourself’ listening lessons, using YouTube recordings recommended by Maestro Maull. The Guide highlights specific musical details to notice as you’re listening! The Discovery Orchestra would like to share resources we have developed with the hope they will benefit anyone who would love to get more enjoyment out of actively listening to music. 

Winter is the last of four violin concertos that comprise Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons.  The outer movements musically describe wintry scenes like falling snow, chilling wind gusts, slipping on the ice and even the sound of our teeth chattering due to the intense cold!  In the second movement, the scene moves indoors as we warm ourselves by the cozy fireplace. This enchanting music will transport you to the great beauties of winter!
