String ensemble arrangement of Tchaikovskys August (Harvest Song) from The piano collection The Seasons Op. 37a. Score, Set of Parts. 25 pages.August (Harvest Song) is an intact depiction of a summer farming scene in the piano collection The Four Seasons, Op 37a. The main part expresses the urgency to finish the work during the short summer months, while the middle part seems to depict a brief respite between tasks. The song ends with the main part returning to the work of harvesting.The piano collection The Four Seasons (originally titled Les Saisons) is known as a collection of 12 piano pieces, one for each month, depicting the customs of the Russian year. To me, as the arranger, it seems to strongly reflect scenes from the composer's own homeland, Ukraine.Tchaikovsky's Ukrainian roots are not surprising. Tchaikovsky's surname was changed from Chaika (Чайка: a traditional Ukrainian surname meaning seagull) by his grandfather, and his family originated from the Chaika family of Ukrainian Cossacks who had a territory in what is now Poltava Oblast.
