La primavera


Largo from Concerto No. 1 in E major, Op. 8, “La primavera” (Spring).
A few years back we made projections for a live performance by the Emerald Ensemble of the "Four Seasons" by Vivaldi.
This is one I did for the second movement of Spring.
There was very little budget, so I spent a week or two listening to the piece over and over, when in the car, then did all the CGI work in less than 2 office days.
From the BDH website:
"Vivaldi wrote sonnets for each concerto in the Four Seasons. For this piece he wrote:

And now, in the pleasant, flowery meadow, to the soft murmur of leaves and plants, the goatherd sleeps with his faithful dog at his side.

Each musical element clearly illustrates a scene and the shapes in the animation reflects that."
