Antonio Vivaldi’s Estate / Storm by 40 Fingers

Can you really do a list of “summer” songs without hitting Vivaldi once? 🙂 I don’t think so. 🙂

I typed in “Vivaldi Summer” in the search box on YouTube last week, and this was the video that caught my eye in the results. I’ve never heard this group before and decided to give them a listen. I like their version of this song, so here is Presto (Storm) from Vivaldi’s Estate (Summer) – the Four Seasons as arranged and played by 40 Fingers.

To go with today’s video, I have another excerpt from Sketches and Secrets of Summer. I have almost completed my read-through. Then, it will leave my hands and come under the scrutiny of others before it returns to me for the final going through before publication in August.

The excerpt below is from chapter two where Stuart and Mary first meet each other. It is the first of many times when they will argue. While this exchange is more like a gentle shower while the sun is shining, not all the clouds in this story are so light.

Darcy Family Holidays, Volume 1 (books 1-3) is reduced in price until the end of July.

Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

  2. Vivaldi is one of my favorite composers and you couldn’t have picked a more unique rendition. “The Four Seasons” is amazing on any stringed instrument–guitars are no exception. Thank you!

  3. I am way late to the party. Sorry. That was a delightful light banter with our Mary. Thanks for sharing. I wish you the best in the new launch. I look forward to reading it. Blessings on its success.

    Now for the video. OMG! That was simply amazing. I was transported with that music. Whew! That simply made my day. Stay safe and healthy.
