Editing The Four Seasons (Vivaldi) (section)

==Derivative works==
Derivative works of these concerti include arrangements, transcriptions, covers, remixes, samples, and parodies in music — themes in theater and opera, soundtracks in films (or video games), and choreography in ballet (along with contemporary dance, figure skating, rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming, etc.) — either in their entirety, single movements, or medleys. Antonio Vivaldi appears to have started this [[Bandwagon effect|trend]] of adapting music from ''The Four Seasons'', and since then it has expanded into many aspects of the [[performing arts]] (as have other instrumental & vocal works by the composer). This ''contest between harmony and invention'' (as it were) now involves various genres around the world:

'''1726 (or 1734)'''
* Vivaldi re-scored the ''Allegro'' movement from the "Spring" concerto, both as the opening [[sinfonia]] (third movement), and chorus (adding lyrics) for his opera ''[[Dorilla in Tempe]]''.
* [[J. S. Bach]] used the theme of the first movement of the "Spring" concerto for the third movement (''aria'') of his cantata [[Wer weiß, wie nahe mir mein Ende? BWV 27|''Wer weiß, wie nahe mir mein Ende?'' (BWV 27)]].

'''1727 (or 1730, 1731)'''
* Vivaldi based his setting of "Gelido in ogni vena", an aria from [[Metastasio]]'s ''Siroe, re di Persia'' libretto, on the first movement of the "Winter" concerto. Vivaldi's ''Siroe'', containing an aria on this text, premiered in 1727 (music lost). An aria on the "Gelido in ogni vena" text also appeared in his 1730 ''[[Argippo]]'' (music lost). In 1731, he inserted the extant version of this aria in his ''[[Farnace]]'' when this opera was restaged in [[Pavia]].<ref>{{RISM|212006277}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Spáčilová |first1=Jana |date=2013 |title=Brněnská opera Argippo z roku 1733 ve světle nových výzkumů |url=https://www.opusmusicum.cz/content/brn%C4%9Bnsk%C3%A1-opera-argippo-z-roku-1733-ve-sv%C4%9Btle-nov%C3%BDch-v%C3%BDzkum%C5%AF |journal=[[Opus musicum]] |language=cs |location=Brno  |volume=13 |issue=2 |page=9 |issn=0862-8505 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Spáčilová |first1=Jana |date=2014 |title=Unbekannte Brünner Oratorien Neapolitanischer Komponisten vor 1740 |journal=Musicologica Brunensia |language=de |location=Brno |publisher=Faculty of Arts of the [[Masaryk University]] |volume=49 |issue=1 |page=143 |doi=10.5817/MB2014-1-9 |hdl=11222.digilib/130209 |issn=1212-0391|doi-access=free }}</ref>
