Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Seasons is an allegorical ballet in one act, four scenes, by the choreographer Marius Petipa, with music by Alexander Glazunov, his Op. 67. The work was composed in 1899, and was first performed by the Imperial Ballet in 1900 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Excerpts from the ballet were heard on a recording featuring Don Wilson narrating the story of Ceres and Proserpina (here called Prosperine), with the music, played by the Continental Symphony Orchestra, serving as accompaniment. This recording was part of an LP issued by Capitol Records entitled Classics for Children. The Autumn Bacchanale is used for the theme to BBC TV's annual Richard Dimbleby Lecture. Part of the Autumn was chosen as musical theme by Guy Mauffette in 1939 for the radio soap opera Un homme et son p ch and after for the long running french Canadian TV series Les Belles Histoires des Pays-d'en'Haut.
