Spring has poked out it's nose!

I wrote this piece about 10 years ago and would like to share it for all those who appreciate the Spring to come:

 

Based on Antonio Vivaldi's LaPrimavera (Spring) from The Four Seasons (1725)

 

First Movement

 

Spring is coming

Musical harbingers sing forth

Their joyful sound heralding the Season

Over hills and dales

Through valleys and swales.

 

Streams and brooks, arpeggios

Unleashed from Winter's weiss

Trickling and trilling rills over moss-bare rocks

Fanned by whispering breezes

And occasional windy sneezes.

 

Bolts of lightning, crashing thunder

Come to announce the season

Walloping vestigial shades of Winter. 

Decrescendos, slow  and  long

Defrosting enchanting solo song.

 

Second Movement

 

On newly painted pleasant meadow

Little bright green sprouts nudge up

With the hint of Summer to come.

Soft murmurings of leaves and branches

Promising joyous hot summer dances.

 

Third Movement

 

Festive country pipes give sound

As nymphs and shepherds dance in

  long-loved fields

Rebirth, revewal, renaissance

Now Spring appears in all Her brilliance.
