“Ah! Spring is in the air!” With April almost over, and May coming up, with warm weather and thunderstorms popping up, spring really is finally here. So, I was inspired to do a quick gathering of seasonally appropriate pieces and songs to get you excited for those gorgeous blossoms and happy chirping of the birds. Parents, ask your child’s teacher to start teaching him or her these musical gems. Teachers, it’s not too early to introduce these to your pupils, even if it means getting an easier arrangement and/or transcription! Fellow performers, even if a piece is not for your primary instrument, you can always find a transcription suited for your instrument(s). 1) Vivaldi’s Concerto No. 1 in E Major, Op. 8, RV 269,”La Primavera” (Spring), from the “The Four Seasons” 2) Haydn’s Spring section in the Oratorio, “The Seasons”, Hob. XXI:3 3) Beethoven’s Violin Sonata, Op. 24, No. 5, “Spring” 4) Schubert’s “Faith in Spring”, Op. 20, No. 2 & “Dream of Spring”, Op. 89, No. 11 5) Schumann’s Symphony No. 1 in Bb, Op. 38, “Spring” & “Spring Song” from “Album for the Young” 6) Mendelssohn’s “Spring Song”, Op. 62, No. 6, from “Songs Without Words” Book 5 7) Strauss’ “Voices of Spring” Waltz, Op. 410 8) Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” 9) Copland’s Appalachian Spring If anyone out there has a favorite spring-related piece and/or song, feel free to comment below!
