The Four Seasons (band)

The Four Seasons are an American rock band formed in 1960 in Newark, New Jersey. Since 1970, they have also been known at times as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. They are one of the best-selling musical groups of all time, having sold an estimated 100 million records worldwide. The Four Seasons were founded in 1960 when singer Frankie Valli and guitarist Tommy DeVito, the two remaining members of the 1950s novelty act The Four Lovers, joined forces with The Royal Teens keyboardist Bob Gaudio and with Valli's friend, bassist Nick Massi. All four were Italian Americans who hailed from the state of New Jersey. The band's number one singles are "Sherry" (1962), "Big Girls Don’t Cry" (1962), "Walk Like A Man" (1963), "Rag Doll" (1964), and "December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)" (1976). The Four Seasons are known for their longevity and for Valli's powerful falsetto. The original lineup of the Four Seasons was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999, and the New Jersey Hall of Fame in 2017. The Hollywood Walk of Fame awarded a star, jointly credited to Valli and to the group, in 2024.

  "The [Uncertain] Four Seasons" is a reworking of Vivaldi's original, by both human composers and AI algorithms based on climate predictions for the year 2050. Each performance is modified to fit the climatic predictions for the location of performance. The project includes a multi-orchestra, streamed event planned for November 1, 2021, in connection with the United Nations Climate Change conference held in Glasgow, Scotland.

Recomposed by the creative studio Kling Klang Klong, arranged by Simone Candotto and performed in November 2019 by the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, under the direction of Alan Gilbert "Alan Gilbert (conductor)"). Portrait of a Lady on Fire used La Serenissima "La Serenissima (musical ensemble)")'s Four Seasons as part of their film soundtrack. [...] There is some debate as to whether the four concerti were written to accompany four sonnets or vice versa. Though it is not known who wrote the accompanying sonnets, the theory that Vivaldi wrote them is supported by the fact that each sonnet is broken into three sections, each neatly corresponding to a movement in the concerto. Regardless of the sonnets' authorship, The Four Seasons can be classified as program music, instrumental music intended to evoke something extra-musical, and an art

• Vivaldi's The Four Seasons — Boston Baroque

  The Seasons were first published in Amsterdam in 1725 as the first four of a set of twelve concertos by Vivaldi with the overall title Il cimento dell' armonia e dell' inventione (The contest between harmony and invention), opus 8. They are dedicated to Count Morzin of Bohemia, and from that dedication we learn that these were not new works but that they had found favor with the count some years earlier. No autograph manuscript has survived,but, in addition to the Amsterdam edition, there is [...] Then, along with the rest of Vivaldi's output, The Four Seasons fell out of the repertoire for over a century before being "rediscovered" in the first part of the twentieth century. The gradual revival of Vivaldi's music from that time was at first of interest to musicologists because of its influence on Bach, who had studied it and transcribed a number of the concertos for harpsichord. Although The Seasons were not among the concertos that Bach transcribed, they soon came to public attention [...] Vivaldi's The Four Seasons arenot only among the most popular pieces of classical music today, but they circulated widely in the composer's time, as well, and inspired programmatic pieces by others. The concertos were especially popular in France, where they were played many times in the Concert Spirituel. Spring (La primavera), perhaps the particular favorite of the French, was not only often heard in its original form but was also arranged for larger forces (a choral motet by Michel

• THE STORY BEHIND: Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons"

  The Story: In 1725, Antonio Vivaldi published a collection of 12 concertos under the collective title, Il Cimento dell’ Armonia e dell’ Inventione (“The Contest between Harmony and Invention”). The first four of these were Le Quattro Stagioni, or The Four Seasons. Vivaldi, a priest, was also a famous violinist of the time and boasted the title maestro di concerto of the Pio Ospidale della Pietà, a distinguished school of music, and maestro in Italia of the Austrian Count von Morzin (cousin to [...] Instrumental music as literally programmatic as The Four Seasons was rare in the 18th century. These four violin concertos are based on a set of Italian sonnets, possibly written by Vivaldi himself. In the score, the composer indicates exactly which line or phrase of the poem is being illustrated. In general, the full orchestra reflects general text, while the solo violin illustrates pictorial detail. Here is a summary of The Four Seasons: [...] Title: The Four Seasons, op.8 Composer: Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) Last time performed by the Rhode Island Philharmonic: Last performed November 15, 2014 with Larry Rachleff conducting and soloist Jennifer Koh.

• Vivaldi Four Seasons: complete, original version. Voices of Music ...

  Of all of Vivaldi’s concertos, the Four Seasons are the most widely performed of his works today. Vivaldi managed to change the course of music history by writing these four concertos; composers had set the seasons, the hours, the months and many other programs of music in the 17th century, but no one had written a set like the Four Seasons. Vivaldi did not just create a new kind of musical program, he refined the way in which all of the elements of the program work with the music, and he spun
