Today we celebrate the birthday of the very well-known Antonio Vivaldi (4 March 1678 – 28 July 1741).
One Concerto Five Hundred Times
Vivaldi gets started and then he
Hits auto repeat so that when he
Writes his concerti
It’s qwerty qwert qwerty...
Which explains how he’s written in so many.

Variety is...
If you want a concerto for flute,
Or oboe, or bongos, or lute,
Or banjo, or bugle,
Or horn (French or flugel) —
Vivaldi’s the man who could do’t.
...the Spice of Life
There are several concertos for brass
And some for the strings played en masse.
They’re even a few
For didgeridoo,
And one for the viola... (alas).

Big Red
When Tony “the Red Priest” Vivaldi
Was afraid we would think he was bald, he
Donned a red wig
That was terribly big
Before he went shopping at Aldi.
