Willie Green "Four Seasons"






When Willie Green released the first movement of his work "Four Seasons" I was blown away, but for some reason did not share it with you (my apologies), then was very late on even knowing about the second one, and once the third movement came out, I decided I would wait until the whole piece was complete, that way you can enjoy the individually or as a whole and find them all in one place (besides Willie Green's bandcamp page of course.) What Green did is rather ambitious, not so much to release an album based on a season, but by making them each a movement, he is sort of telling the listener that they are to be enjoyed as one giant piece, but each movement has separate themes, but as a whole it tells the grand story. While each movement does a wonderful job of capturing each season through the beats of Willie Green, what really impresses me is some of the subtleties that work to link each section to each other and form the grand work that is known as "Four Seasons" so check out the project and get lost in it.
