Good day. Good listener of Hacker Public Radio
|
||
|
|
and welcome to another podcast by me, Paul Quirk.
|
||
|
|
If you listened to Episode 3000, you would know that I am a supporter of the Creative Commons license.
|
||
|
|
The very license that Hacker Public Radio podcasts are based upon.
|
||
|
|
You will also have learned that I am a lover of fine music.
|
||
|
|
In that episode, we had a sampling of the free Chopin project
|
||
|
|
and you got to listen to some choice pieces from that collection.
|
||
|
|
As we are nearing the end of summer, then about to enter autumn.
|
||
|
|
My mind turns to Vivaldi in the Four Seasons.
|
||
|
|
I will now read to you the description of the Four Seasons from Muzopen.org.
|
||
|
|
Antonio Vivaldi composed the Four Seasons in 1723.
|
||
|
|
It is a set of four violin concertos that propose an early form of descriptive music.
|
||
|
|
For example, Winter makes prominent use of pizziacto notes in high registers,
|
||
|
|
whereas summer evokes a storm in its final movement.
|
||
|
|
The Four Seasons remain very popular to this day.
|
||
|
|
Some of its concertos spawning a great number of derivative works,
|
||
|
|
whereas thousands of recordings of the original pieces have been made.
|
||
|
|
It is still debated if Vivaldi wrote this concertos to accompany the Four Sonnets
|
||
|
|
that may have been written by himself.
|
||
|
|
Now, these selections I have chosen were all performed by the Modena Chamber Orchestra
|
||
|
|
and our performances that have been identified as being free of known restrictions
|
||
|
|
under copyright law, including all related enabling rights.
|
||
|
|
You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work,
|
||
|
|
even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.
|
||
|
|
And so, I will start this podcast with Spring, then Summer, followed by Autumn,
|
||
|
|
and then Winter uninterrupted.
|
||
|
|
Enjoy!
