He became an ordained priest but continued to develop a career as an opera composer and composer of instrumental music, and as a teacher. As you can see from the main points of this slide, he was born in Venice, reared around the church of San Marco, the Basilica of San Marco.
As you heard with the opening slide here for this segment, we're going to engage now the first movement of Antonio Vivaldi's well known, The "Spring" Concerto.
Finally, we'll wrap up the module with an introduction to music of the Classical Period, and who better to lead the way than the inimitable Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? One might say that Bach was an idealist and Handel was a realist when it came to music, so we’ll look at how these personality traits informed each composer’s musical style. Next, Bach’s music will then be compared and contrasted with that of his exact contemporary and fellow German, George Frideric Handel. First, we'll get a chance to "live" during the Baroque period by taking a detailed look inside the life, career, and even home of Bach- explore where and how Bach and his family lived, discuss Bach’s music, and talk about the techniques of Baroque music as a whole. But what is a fugue and how did we get it? To find out, we enter the world of Baroque music and famed master of the fugue, Johann Sebastian Bach.

Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi lived from 1678 – 1741 (more or less at the same time as Bach), and his "Four Seasons" violin concertos are among his most beloved compositions.
We’ve finally had some great spring days over the past week – we hope you’ve managed to get outside and enjoy them! With spring really getting underway, this seems like the perfect time to offer this beautiful sound picture. Violinist age 9 plays "Spring" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, first movement
