What songs remind you of Spring?

[Lucian]

And no, you cannot use Vivaldi in your answer. I will smack you if you do. :P

I'm just wondering what songs bring up feelings/visions/emotions of Spring for you.

[redqueen]

1. Vivaldi - The Rite of Spring

:7



Seriously though, Arabesque #1 by Debussy. :)

[Lucian]

5. There's always one in the group.

:eyes:

:P

Arabesque #1...great choice. :thumbsup:

2. Vaughan Williams, The Lark Ascending

May, the light of a full moon on the lilacs, the yeasty scent of damp earth, the fireflies dancing in the web of delicate ground mist on the meadow, the sleepy goodnight chirp of a robin.

Nothing is eternal,
Only the eternal Spring.

[sarge43]

15. That's a keeper. n/t

[csziggy]

17. There was a nice video with a sunrise over the Canyon

But the people who made it put in 'comments' and boxes which messed it up. Plus the sound quality was not as good. Too bad - it was a great video of the sunrise before they screwed around with it.

I've always loved the Grand Canyon Suite - On the Trail is my second favorite part.

[sarge43]

18. The Grand Canyon Suite was one of my first introductions to

symphonic music. I like the final movement - the thunderstorm across the desert.

[csziggy]

20. It's a good introduction

I don't remember what the first symphonic music I ever hear. With grandmother who was a concert pianist and an older sister who was a gifted musician, we always had music in the house.

[sarge43]

22. Must have been a good intro. Loved it ever since.

How lucky you were to be immersed in music. We just had the radio and records.

[MajorChode]

16. Bird songs
