@dabluroom: Wow, thanks X2        ☺       ♪

I'd never have imagined hearing the 'Seasons' like this, but you do a very, very fine job. Live sax? Didn't the bold Anto also tour with an all-female orchestra of nubile orphan girls he, ahem, trained up himself? I guess chastity may have been a difficult aspect of his vocation.

Glad you got this out of your head soo we can all listen!!! :) Great Job!!

I can only hope this was as much fun to put together as it is to listen to...a fine haunting my friend! Very much enjoyed!

Yes, this definitely should be a required listening in all Music Appreciation classes...

Awesome, you are a musical magician Asteri. Beautiful. :-)

 Sometimes I think I am writing a simple jazz tune and I realize Vivaldi already wrote it long ago.

He haunts me whenever he has time.

Here is yet another example of my "Fractured Classics" proving the point...

Antonio Vivaldi was born in Venice on March 4th, 1678. Though ordained a priest in 1703, according to his own account, within a year of being ordained Vivaldi no longer wished to celebrate mass because of physical complaints ("tightness of the chest") which pointed to angina pectoris, asthmatic bronchitis, or a nervous disorder... It is also very possible that Vivaldi was simulating illness - there is a story that he sometimes left the altar in order to quickly jot down a musical idea in the sacristy.... In any event he had become a priest against his own will, perhaps because back in his day... training for the priesthood was often the only possible way for a poor family to obtain free schooling. 


Oh well, back to the manuscript paper to try again....sigh.

Lyrics:
Shoreline
Headlights to you
Time trials
Holding on into
The trials
When we breathed for two

Take time
Time takes
We choose
To stand or fly
To try for better
We lose

Breathe soft
Breathe softly on to

Dover feat. OwnRoad
