Spring
I.
Allegro Spring
has arrived, and joyfully the
birds greet her with glad song, while at Zephyr’s breath the streamsflow
forth with a sweet murmur. come
to envelop the air in a black cloak; once
they have fallen silent, the little birds return
anew to their melodious incantation: II.
Largo
then on a pleasant, flower-bedecked meadow, to
the happy murmur of fronds and plants, the
goatherd sleeps next to his trusty dog. III. Allegro
To the festive sounds of rustic bagpipes nymphs
and shepherds dance beneath the beloved sky at
the glorious appearance of spring.
Summer I.
Presto Alas,

the sky fills with thunder and lightning,
and hailstones few off the heads of proud cornstalks.
Autumn I.
Allegro
The countryman celebrates with dance and song
the sweet pleasure of a good harvest,
and many, fired by the liquor of Bacchus,
end their enjoyment by falling asleep. II.
Adagio

by the temperate air, which gives pleasure,
and by the season, which invites so many
to enjoy the sweetness of sleep. III.
Allegro

with their horns, guns and hounds;
the quarry flees and they track it;
already terrified and tired out by the great
noise
of the guns and hounds, the wounded beast
makes a feeble effort to flee but dies in agony. Winter I.
Allegro non molto
To shiver, frozen, amid icy snow
in the bitter blast of a horrible wind;
to run, constantly stamping one’s feet;
