Lyrics:
[Instrumental]
[Intro]
[Spring Allegro]
Birdsong violin trills, bubbling brook sixteenth notes, rustic peasant dance, bright E major ritornello, joyful outdoor festival, solo violin answering the orchestra
[Spring Largo]
Soft murmuring strings, sleeping goatherd, gentle pastoral drone, distant barking figure in viola, calm midday rest under trees
[Spring Allegro Finale]
Country dance returns, rustic bagpipe drone in bass, leaping violin, spring breeze and closing cadence
[Summer Adagio]
Oppressive heat, languid slow strings, weary melody, buzzing flies in high violin, heavy motionless air before the storm
[Summer Presto Tempest]
Sudden violent thunderstorm, furious violin scales, lightning flashes, rushing wind, crashing tutti strings, rain and hail, dramatic baroque storm climax
[Autumn Allegro]
Harvest celebration, joyful drinking dance, rustic rhythms, tipsy peasant song on solo violin, full ripieno tutti, golden fields
[Autumn Adagio]
Sleep after the harvest feast, soft muted strings, dreamy slow movement, peaceful dusk
[Autumn Allegro Hunt]
Hunting horns imitated by strings, galloping horses, barking dogs, chasing the quarry, energetic closing hunt
[Winter Allegro Non Molto]
Bitter cold, shivering staccato strings, chattering teeth, icy wind, footsteps on frozen ground, harsh winter opening
[Winter Largo]
Warmth by the fireplace, rain against the window in pizzicato, peaceful indoor rest, lyrical solo violin over gentle accompaniment
[Winter Allegro]
Walking on ice, slipping figures, sudden cracks, fierce north wind, virtuoso violin runs, final winter storm and triumphant close
[Coda]
Brief recall of spring birdsong then summer storm then autumn dance then winter ice, full string orchestra cadence, no vocals
