*Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto in F Major is the third of the four violin concertos which comprise his masterwork, "The Seasons". Each concerto in this group is accompanied by a Sonnet which describes a particular season. The lines of each sonnet appear in the musical score immediately above the musical passages which Vivaldi composed to illustrate those poetic images.
In the case of tonight's concerto, "Autumn", the music of the first movement (Allegro) describes the celebration in dance and song of a particularly successful grape harvest, the pleasures of the "liquor of Bacchus" and the resulting drunken behavior. (Following their frolics, in fact, the celebrants fall into a profound sleep just a few measures before the end of the movement.)
The second movement (Adagio) provides a more extended description of the "dolcissimo sonno" which comes to the "dormiente ubriachi" following the festivities portrayed by the first movement.
The third movements (Allegro) describes the hunt of the next morning - complete with horns, rifles and dogs. We hear the chase, the prey frantically attempting to escape, the rifles firing and, finally, the prey itself (the oboe) as it dies just before the end of the movement.
Vivaldi's original concerto is for solo violin and string orchestra. Tonight's transcription, on the other hand, substitutes a flute, oboe and trumpet for the solo violin part and, in fact, amounts to a substantial re-composition of Vivaldi's work - the virtuoso solo violin part being far too idiomatic to be transferred successfully to any other instrument or instrumental group. While Vivaldi's "ritornelli" remain the same in this score, the "concertino" parts (flute, oboe and trumpet) have frequently been re-invented to exploit the instruments present in tonight's ensemble. The continuo part (piano and cello) remains faithful to Vivaldi's score with the exception of the cello's extended solo in the second movement. This too was composed for tonight's concert.
