English. Text by Thomas Morley. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1–4, Ecclesiastes 3:5–8, Zechariah 10:1, Song of Solomon 2:11–13, Psalm 77:17–18, Exodus 34:21, Psalm 100:1–2, Psalm 150:3–6, Genesis 8:22.
A Season To Sing is a choral re-imagining of Vivaldi's enduringly popular set of violin concertos, The Four Seasons, first published in 1725. RSCM composer Joanna Forbes L'Estrange is rearranging the four concertos for SATB choir and organ, weaving into Vivaldi's well-loved melodies texts from poetry and the Bible on the subject of spring, summer, autumn and winter. "The Four Seasons is the first piece of music I can remember hearing from my childhood. I used to dance around the sitting room to it!" Joanna recalls. "I thought a great way to mark its 300th anniversary would be to make it possible for choirs to perform it. Vivaldi's tunes are so magnificent they deserve to be sung!" The 40-minute work also includes a new setting by Forbes L'Estrange of Ecclesiastes 3.2 - To everything there is a season. Its seasonal theme will enable the piece to be performed at any time of the year and it is hoped that A Season To Sing will become a firm favourite with choirs throughout the world.
