Antonio Vivaldi's, "The Four Seasons", is one of the most popular pieces of music ever composed. It is regularly used for commercials and television Shows as well as background music in movies. "The Four Seasons" portrays spring, winter, autumn and summer with a brilliant composition of music, capturing the atmosphere of each season. Each season has a sonnet written by Vivaldi himself to accompany it. His sonnets influenced the brilliant musical compositions.
These songs basically created a stage for more program music because they took each season and put very realistic sounds and feeling into them.
