Listen here! It is also found in the “Autumn All Around” music course, found inside the Clap for Classics! All Access Membership and Four Seasons: Music and More curriculum, alongside other fantastic seasonal songs and listening activities.
We’ll walk you through this activity on Episode 28 of the Clap for Classics podcast. Not only does this promote active listening and gross motor movement which is sure to engage, it is just fun! We encourage kids to listen for the slow section at the end where all the party guests fall asleep (and we “fall asleep” too, of course), and then wait to be surprised about what happens at the very end of the piece.
We highlight the form of the piece by tapping rhythm sticks to the beat during the A section, and then picking up scarves to move and flow with the solo violin. The music alternates between a steady beat section with an accessible melody, and the solo violin passages that are much more free sounding, traversing the range of the instrument. We love highlighting that this piece of music represents a harvest festival - we love to call it a “party” when sharing it with young kiddos. įall is underway, and we’re thrilled to share the first movement of Vivaldi’s “Autumn” concerto with you and your little ones. With the onset of each new season, we can’t help but revisit Vivaldi’s masterful violin concerto The Four Seasons.
