Spring, from The Four Seasons, third movement (abridged) (string trio)

Title: Spring, from The Four Seasons, third movement (abridged)

Composer: Antonio Vivaldi, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2 or Viola; Cello

Printout: 7 pages

Note: This arrangement focuses on the primary “shepherds’ dance” theme of the third movement, also including the middle minore section. Rather than have the viola play exactly the second violin part, I have put much of the second voice down an octave for viola.

Other selections from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons are also available for string trio: Autumn, first movement; Autumn, third movement; Spring, first movement; Winter, second movement.
