4 ( Study Guide)

This study guide to accompany 4 has been written for middle and senior secondary students. It provides information and suggestions for learning activities in Music and English. Geography teachers may find 4 relevant to a discussion of climate. In four corners of the globe, in each of the four seasons, four outstanding violinists guide us on a journey through their homelands. 4 takes us to the springtime blossoms of Japan, the blistering heat and building thunderstorms of an Australian summer, a joyful autumn in New York and to the unforgiving cold and human warmth of a Finnish winter. 4 not only celebrates the seasons but examines their significance in different countries and how they shape who we are on a profound level. The resonant and much-loved music of Antonio Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons' and the timeless stories told by the four concertos 'Spring', 'Summer', 'Autumn' and 'Winter' weaves its way through each narrative. 4 consists of four linked sections, each one building on the last. In each section we see and hear the central personality perform and use their 'season' to tell their story. SKU: SG330 Visit our website to view thousands more products like this and order online at:
