| Comments: Vivaldi - Four Seasons: Summer: Presto blended with Gluck - Orfeo and Euridice: Act II Dance of the Furies. Keys of g and d. |
| Description: This furioso arrangement blends two iconic themes: the stormy presto from "Summer" in Vivaldi's legendary "Four Seasons" and "Dance of the Furies" from Act II of Christoph Gluck's opera, "Orfeo ed Euridice." Retaining the original keys of G minor and D minor, respectively, Vivaldi's thunderous theme segues perfectly to the furies' vigorous dance in the underworld, before modulating seamlessly back to Vivaldi's summer motif. With relentless momentum, every section gets energetic passages that will electrify the concert hall. |
