Valeri Petrov – The Seasons – Score and parts is a vibrant song cycle for soprano, violin, and cello. Written between 2021 and 2024, it was a special gift for his wife, coloratura soprano Maria. The cycle begins with Autumn, the season of her birth, followed by Winter, Spring, and Summer. Each movement reflects the changing moods of nature and the emotions of the human soul.
With expressive melodies and rich harmonies, The Seasons captures the essence of each time of year. The interplay between voice and strings creates both intimacy and grandeur. From autumn’s melancholy to spring’s renewal and summer’s brilliance, the music paints a vivid picture of life’s transitions.
Designed for professional performers and chamber ensembles, The Seasons is a compelling addition to the art song repertoire. The score is printed in high-quality B4 format for easy reading in rehearsals and performances. Ideal for concerts and study, this song cycle offers a deeply personal and engaging musical journey.
