So who else has been addicted to this star-studded Netflix series recently? It’s so relatable — just normal people doing normal things but it really highlights the seasons of life and how everything can change in a second. That’s why using Vivaldi’s Four Seasons as the soundtrack is so apt and why you can hear it again at a Candlelight concert!
Some might think that Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is simply about… the seasons! Wrong! It’s all about the unpredictability of life too, which anybody who has ever tried to plan anything with friends will identify with. After all “life is short”. The seasons of life come and go just as winter, spring, summer, and fall do.
Life bursts into vibrant colors with Vivaldi’s Spring in this series. Those high-pitched notes mark the beginning of a vacation with friends. It’s bright, it’s energetic and beautiful. Summer brings a storm, with scenes that make the pulse race. Emotions swell and it can be exciting in both a positive or negative way.
Autumn brings feelings of nostalgia. Memories can be bittersweet and, ironically, the series highlights the notion that actually, life is not like a television series. Winter enhances the most tragic of events and ultimately, Vivaldi’s masterpiece is utilised perfectly to bring a raw, human series to life.
The Hudson Valley in upstate New York is the perfect backdrop for this candid dramatic comedy and it screams Grace & Frankie, Friends From College and Life & Beth. It’s a new era of narratives that people can relate to with music we’ve always known.
Sometimes music we’ve known all along needs a refresh and you can find that new, exciting version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at a Candlelight concert. There, a talented string quartet will perform the iconic tunes you know well from The Four Seasons, surrounded by thousands of candles. It may well bring tears to your eyes as you remember the legendary scenes from the series, how human beings are fallible and just the beauty of experiencing the seasons each and every year.
