He was then 66 and in poor health he wasn't very fond of the text but fun speed and was persuasive and Haydn finally set to work in 1799. The text of this oratory reflects the emotions of simple country people as they contemplate the changing seasons of the year. There are three soloists. SIMON A farmer who is sung by Peter her work.

The second section summer. Begins with a slow prelude representing a dog. After the three soloists greet the morning. We hear the famous chorus to the song. Then clouds gather and the chorus sings of the storm. With thunder lightning and pouring rain described in words and in the music of the orchestra. The storm ends and Twilight the sun's with the voice of the quail the chirping of crickets and the croaking of frogs. The church bell sounds in the distance and the chorus welcomes the evening star and peaceful sleep.
