The St. Petersburg magazi
The St. Petersburg magazine Nouvellist commissioned one piano collection with this title, whichincludes a popular G minor "Barcarolle." The composer of another work with this title bemoaned the"Frenchified trash" of the tone-painting required to portray the croaking of frogs. That work includes thelyrics "The huts that shelter us, The wool that covers us, The food that nourishes us, All is thy grant, thygift," sung by Simon, Lucas, and Hanne, three peasants. These things are evoked by "the barking dog" and"the langour caused by heat" in a set of violin concertos published as part of The Contest Between Harmonyand Invention. For 10 points, name these things depicted in an oratorio by Haydn and four concerti byVivaldi.
