Antonio Vivaldi

A collection arranged for small ensemble designed to be a gentle, playful introduction to the music of Vivaldi.

Using Vivaldi's classical masterwork "The Four Seasons" as a soundtrack to enhance cognitive development, this program employs nature footage and 3-D animation in a survey of nature's seasonal wonders--the beauty of a turning leaf, spring flowers in bloom, a hushed first snowfall.

The selection of music on this album was guided by principles of psychoacoustics, the new seicntific field that studies the effects of sound on consciousness. You are invitied to enjoy an offering of gentle and soothing classical music, selected, rearranged, and performed to reduce physical tension, dispel anxiety, and create inner clam.
