We are inviting choirs and choral societies to be part of a very special commissioning project. RSCM composer Joanna Forbes L’Estrange, who wrote our coronation anthem The mountains shall bring peace, is reimagining Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons in a new setting for mixed voices and organ/piano. The piece will be published in 2025, marking the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Four Seasons. This choral re-imagining of Vivaldi’s ever-popular work weaves texts from poetry and the Bible about spring, summer, autumn and winter into Vivaldi’s much-loved melodies. With its seasonal theme, A Season To Sing can be performed at any time of the year, and is expected to become a firm favourite with choirs throughout the world.
To make this commission possible, the RSCM is inviting choirs to contribute £300 ($500) each to participate in this project, for which each choir will receive exclusive perks, including the opportunity to perform the work ahead of its general publication and a specially bound edition of the work, signed by the composer.
