As Quatro Estações de Vivaldi na Chiesa Anglicana All Saints em Roma
Roma, Igreja de Todos os Santos — Main Hall
Sobre o Evento
Experimente a música clássica como nunca antes nesta espantosa atuação da obra‐prima de Vivaldi na notável Chiesa Anglicana All Saints de Roma.
As Quatro Estações de A.Vivaldi
As Quatro Estações é a mais conhecida das composições de Antonio Vivaldi. Na verdade, são quatro concertos separados, escritos a partir de outros tantos sonetos de um autor desconhecido e cada um inspirado numa estação do ano. Fazem parte do Opus 8 "Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'invenzione".
PRIMAVERA
A música descreve passo a passo os acontecimentos individuais da primavera: o canto dos pássaros, a trovoada e, na dança final, o violino solo representa um pastor adormecido, as violas o ladrar do cão fiel e o farfalhar das folhas é tocado por outros violinos.
VERÃO
Este é, sem dúvida, o concerto com maior eficácia descritiva. A tempestade de verão é a sua protagonista e podemos ouvi‐la aproximar‐se no calor do verão para depois irromper no final com toda a sua violência. O pastor assustado com a tempestade repentina é descrito pelo solo.
AUTUMN
Aqui o protagonista é Baco. Vivaldi reproduz sem paralelo os sintomas de intoxicação provocados pelo vinho, enquanto no andamento intermédio, intitulado "Bêbados adormecidos", desfruta da atmosfera sonhadora e tranquila do pós‐festa. Por fim, o terceiro andamento descreve os ritmos excitados da caça.
WINTER
Este concerto, com os seus tons pastorais, foi concebido por Vivaldi para ser executado na igreja; de facto, toda a orquestra toca sempre quase "em surdina" para não perturbar os fiéis reunidos em oração.
Informações Práticas

All Saints Church
All Saints' Church serves the Anglican community in Rome. It is an active English-speaking parish that continues the ministry of the Church of England in Italy - a tradition that began in 1816. All Saints' Church was built in 1880 on a design by architect George Edmund Street, a leading light of the Victorian Gothic Revival, and the church is an excellent example of the Victorian English aesthetic. The interior of the church is decorated with mosaic roundels in which typically-Anglican symbols can be seen. Today, All Saints' Church hosts a variety of classical concerts, including opera performances featuring talented artists from all over the world.
Antonio Vivaldi
Antonio Vivaldi went down in history as a creator of the instrumental concert genre and the father of orchestral music. He was born in Venice on the 4th of March 1678. Vivaldi was a weak and sickly child suffering from asthma, however could not stop him from devoting himself completely to music. His father, Giovanni Batista a professional violinist, taught his elder son Antonio to play the violin. With his father young Antonio met the best musicians of Venice of that time and gave concerts in local churches. He also worked as a violin teacher and later as a music director at the orphanage Ospedalle della Pieta. Meanwhile he composed concertos, sacred works and vocal music and in 1713 he achieved great recognition with his sacred choral music. Vivaldi got captivated by the world of opera and worked both as opera composer and impresario at the Teatro San Angelo. In 1717 he obtained a prestigious position by the prince court in Manua as a director of secular music and worked there until around 1720. During that time he composed his world-renowned masterpiece The Four Seasons. In the 1730's his career dwindled as his music became unfashionable and the great composer died in poverty. It took the world two centuries to rediscover and reevaluate Vivaldi’s music, as it was buried into oblivion after his death. In the early 20th century many previously unknown works were found and immediately captured the hearts of the music lovers.
