SUMMER

1st Movement: Allegro Nonmolto

In the harsh season scorched by the sun, man and flock languish, and the pine is on fire; the cuckoo begins to call and soon after, the turtledove and the goldfinch are heard singing. Zephyr [the west wind] gently blows, but Boreas [the north wind] suddenly enters into a contest with its neighbor, and the little shepherd weeps for he hears the awesome threatening storm and his fate.

2nd Movement: Adagio

To his tired limbs rest is denied by the fear of lightning, awesome thunder, and the furious swarm of flies and hornets!

Movement 3: Presto

Alas, his fears are justified. The sky is filled with thunder and lightning and hail cuts down the proud grain.
