Happy Birthday Vivaldi!

Today is Antonio Vivaldi (aka the Red Priest)'s 332nd birthday. He was born in and spent the better part of his life composing in Venice, in great part for the orchestras and choirs of a Venetian girl's orphanage. Although he wrote a huge number of works, he is best known for his Four Seasons, which was considered very avant garde for its time. So today's the day to pull out some good old fashioned Vivaldi and travel back in time to 17th century Venice...
